Odyssey Poem: I Met A Girl

Let me tell you a story.

I met a girl.

She had black hair with sparkling eyes.

A camera around her neck and a pen in her back pocket.

This girl was ready for anything and that was attractive.

She spoke about her dreams of photographing people as a career.

The way she spoke about her views on politics and her experience at the Women's March were interesting.

Her voice filled with fury when she heard about the attack on Jussie Smollett.

Saying, "Why are people still being racists and being ridiculed for their sexuality?"

If he was straight and white, this would never have happened.

I had to think about that because she was right.

People like to attack minorities because they think we are the ones stealing the land and jobs.

When really, we are all just surviving when we should be living without worries.

She almost burst into tears. Her face was red but she was strong.

She was beautiful but I didn't want that to be the only good thing about her.

I wanted to know her goals in life and if she wanted to stay in this city.

She wants to open a studio and live in a different city but she wouldn't mind staying here.

I was excited but I was scared.

I also have big dreams in life but not sure If I want to stay here.

I want to explore the world and what if she wouldn't come with?

If I dated this girl, would we have a future?

Will it end when I graduate and move away?

I'm not into having a heart break once again.

Therefore, my feelings I will not hide.

Instead I'll make it turn to the side.

if you can find me I'll be in the shadows.

Holding my head up high like a model.

I will not look to you no further, this is goodbye girl, I will not see you later.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
