The summer took you from me, and you will be dearly missed.

Poetry On Odyssey: An Ode To My Car Chapstick

To my dear car chapstick

All melted to goo.

The summer took you too soon

I will forever miss you.


My lips feel so dry and rough

Now, that you are gone.

I tried to save you, I swear,

With my maximum AC on.


But you had already turned to mush

Within my car's cup holder.

I wish we could have grown together

As we both got older and older.


But we didn't get that chance

To reach your tube's end.

But then again I never have been able to do that.

Cause it is just too damn hard, my friend.


I have lost too many chapsticks.

Your loss being the most gruesome.

But at least this time it isn't my fault

As it is when I just lose em'.


But the moral of the story is

That you were trapped in my car's confines.

And I'm sorry I could not rescue you

From the harsh summer sunshine.


And I do not want to replace you.

Because your memory still haunts me.

Not to mention, it would melt too.

Summer is meant to be car-chapstick-free :(

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.
