Sunflowers

Follow the sun

-every sunflower does-

with all its brightness and warmth,

but only their heads move.

Roots tie them to

the soil below.

Yet, ever do they strain,

East to West, East to West

-day after day-

Up comes the sun,

the flowers point East.

The sun moves, they stare back.

So far away it seems;

nevertheless,

they reach,

but that reach will never be enough.

The sun, miles and miles away,

can hardly be expected to notice.

-their hope useless, their effort futile-

The sun cannot come down.

Surely they know?

Yet, how could they?

They stand tall, happily.

If they knew,

their heads would droop,

their color fade away.

But who could crush their hope,

darken their lives

with the sun’s seeming mockery?

I doubt I could.



The Wind’s Insistence

The wind fiddles with

anything loose

-Making noise,

fighting to be noticed-

Rustling the leaves,

causing the grass o shiver,

but most arresting

twiddling with my hair.

Gently, it flies with the tender push of air.

It ebbs and flows

like waves upon the ocean,

yet not quite so consistent.

The winds insistence often annoys me

Playfully tossing my hair about

-into my eyes, brushing my face-

It’s only a delicate reminder;

the wind whispering,

“I’m here. Don’t forget me.”

Yet, still I rebuke it,

unmindful of its plea.

Huffing and puffing, I fling my hair away.

For a moment,

the wind dies

-hurt, disappointed-

A moment later, it picks up again,

hopeful, yet, that I will

give promising attention.



Falling Snow

Laying, with my head, resting

against the frozen ground,

crunching leaves, shh… not a sound

I watch the snowflakes filter down

through that winding labyrinth of limbs,

from the sky up above

to the earth far below.

Their path curves and curls,

any route, but straight and simple.

One moment lifted, floating, up high

the next plummeting, crying goodbye.

Yet, with the wind’s folly,

riding the breeze once again.

I watch these delicate frames,

gliding and falling.

But soon, the shivers and frost overcome.

I head toward home

-warmth’s lure too strong-

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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.
