Thank You, Music

Show us your secrets, oh beautiful song.

Give me a reason to keep going on.

Your brushstroke of art has so much to tell.

You calm my fears, for you know me so well.

You can make the world stop with just a simple tune.

With every ending note, you are gone too soon.

A healing blanket, a gently touch,

a warm hug, a safety crutch.

As a mother, you cradle our cries.

Your ways of love bear no disguise.

You move mountains, you calm the storm.

A simple sound, but a world you transform.

Without you, all would be lost,

our hearts covered with a layer of frost.

No light would show, no dark or night,

You taught us to live, and live with such might.

But some cannot hear you, their ears have been closed.

So many fall silent, their words undisclosed.

How can one not feel you and your beautiful sound?

They have closed their eyes, their heart has been bound.

But the lock with break, and the walls will crack.

And those that wouldn't hear you will never go back.

For you silence guns, you raise up sails.

And you travel across worlds, leading peace's trails.

Thank you for giving us life. Thank you for giving us hope.

Thank you for helping us grieve and helping us cope.

You will not soon be forgotten, for you are you.

And there is no friendship that will hold more true.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
