A poem about...me.

Poetry on Odyssey: Nice To Meet You
Alexandria Nalevanko

Hi, my name is Alex.

I'm a sophomore at West Chester University.

I'm a business major with an actual passion for journalism.


But I know you don't care about that.

I know you'll forget about that by tomorrow.

Or maybe that's my anxiety talking--that's its favorite thing to do.


Maybe you won't forget that just like you,

I always wonder what words people use to describe me when I'm not around.

I wonder if I said anything that hurt someones feelings.

I worry that maybe I'll be the last person on the invite list.


But then again I really don't want to be invited at all.

Hi, my name is Alex.

My toes don't look like they belong on a human and I make a ton of mistakes,

I'm left handed and my car has never been over 65 MPH.

I'm scared of a lot of things, but at least I can pull off the color yellow sometimes.

I try to be a good person and I think I'm doing okay, but sometimes this 5'4" body can't contain it's opinion.

I regret things in the morning, then I do them again.

I fail. I learn. I try again.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
