Here are a couple of my favorite writings from my journal. I wanted to open up my journal and share my poems and writings with the world. Some of these are very important to me, some of these pieces have been written during bad times in my life that I have put into beautiful writings. I found sweetness in these situations and maybe that's why I enjoy putting them into writing pieces. So here are my feelings, my thought, the people I love, my favorite things, my dislikes; here's my whole life.


Suddenly// 9:25 P.M

Suddenly all my pages in my journal

are about you.

All my favorite songs make me think

of you.

The taste of coffee tastes like you

rich in flavor.

And when I close my eyes

It's you who appears.

Suddenly everything was you.

My laughter.

My tears

My dreams

My nightmares


Nights//2:00 A.M

Late nights spent with you made me realize that I wanted to spend nights like those with someone like you. You touched me and made me feel whole, you kissed me and I saw stars. You made me feel happy and sad, I wanted to scream and cry because I was with you. I looked at you like the way my mother looks at my stepdad, full of love and happiness. I could stare at you the entire night, I would never get tired of looking at you. I saw galaxies in your eyes and heaven in your smile, I felt alive with your hand in my hand. Your hugs made me feel warm like hot chocolate on a cold winter night. But you also made me feel unwanted and weak. I knew that a person like you will never love a person like me. That late nights with me didn't mean anything to you like it did to me.


The Painting // 3:45 P.M

I'm like a painting

full of color and mystery

you can stare at me for days

but you will get bored

and move on to the next painting


Nightmare// 10/11/2016

I saw you in my dream

Again

Or

Maybe it was a nightmare.

You left me

In the middle of the road

And I waited for you

But you never came

I woke

But i realize

That wasn't a dream nor a nightmare

It was real life.


Seasons // 10/17/16

Spring-

You were there,

when the flowers were blooming


Summer-

I loved you as much

as the summer breeze and my sunflowers


Fall-

Like the leaves

my love for you was turning brown, and fall down


Winter-

My heart was cold

Waiting for spring to come again


10/18/16

It's okay

to let things get to you.

What's not okay

it's for those things to

Break you.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
