Poetry On The Odyssey: Panic Attacks

I'm lost in your stormy winds

You come out of nowhere

I see you coming but I don't when you'll get here

You pull me up in your winds

I get lost in the spinning

When I land I am held down by your weight

I try to move

I try to run

I want to scream but can't find my voice

As I try to break away from your grip the light goes dark

When I can see again you have put me in a box

You have allowed me to stand and scream

But you keep me chained and locked away

I try to run

I try to climb

I try to break through

I throw myself at your wall

I scream for help

I cry in hopes of drowning this pain

Yet the wall never breaks

No one ever hears my screams

And the tears never cause a flood

I act like you aren't overpowering me

I say you aren't real

I don't acknowledge you

Yet you stay there

You never loosen your grip

I never remember what happens before you decide I can be free

For I am never free from your grip

You just let me out of the storm until you come again

And once we meet again your tortures get worse

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:

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?
