An expressive poem I wrote my freshman year of high school.

"I Am" Poem 2013

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the coldest winter.

I wonder if there is such thing as love, If the expectations meet the feelings of the word.

I hear terriblewords spoken amongst each other, while kind and thoughtful words are kept quiet from all who need it.

I see the reflection from the moon smiling at me as itsglimmering light peaks through my window each dark night.

I want to wake up one brightmorning and have my parents back in my life, withsoberthoughts.

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the coldestwinter.

I pretend I am an unopinionatedactress, simply playing my role in life without question and doing as I'm told.

I feel emotionally exhausted like a lost child wandering the world but not knowing their final destination.

I touch my little sister's innocent hand and feel unconditional love from the purest heart there is.

I worry I'll wake up to a phone call from the hospital saying my mom has overdosed.

I cry when I think of the dreadful night that was April 4, 2013, the day my grandma went to heaven and left us.

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the coldest winter.

I understand that I can't change my shameful past but I can always mold my unexpectedfuture.

I say life is like a crystal clearriver, it just keeps flowing through obstacles thrown into it.

I dream through all the revengefulchaos of this generation, that people will count their blessings each and every single day.

I try to make my uncle proud even though I've made some poor decisions, I learned from them and improved myself.

I hope the brightand mysticalstars in the sky keep shining down at everyone and the earth keeps it's natural beauty of the green grass, tall trees, and expressive animals.

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the coldest winter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
