Sonnenschein in Deinen Augen

An original poem dedicated to my grandmother. She truly was the key that unlocked "the promise to another day."

This poem was inspired by my grandmother. She was smart, goal-driven, God-fearing, and much, much more. Her warmth, love, and kindness are unmatched. Last year, I decided to use my love for poetry and German to create an ode for the women I so strongly strive to emulate. Hope you enjoy it. <3


Du sind hell mögen die Morgenstrahlen vom Himmel kommen

Und du sind warm mögen ein Sommertag

Du sind der Schlüssel das entriegelt das versprechen zu einem anderen tag

Und ihre Bekannten sind die Stars


Oh, ich sehe den Sonnenschein in deinen Augen

Und ich fühle die Liebe die von deinem Herzen ausstrahlt

Oh, ich sehe das Licht das du zum Leben erweckst

Und ich fühle, wie großartig du diese Welt erlebst

Oh, ich sehe den Sonnenschein in deinen Augen


Du sind ein Diamant das leuchtet ach so hell

Und du sind das kostbarste Juwel unter allen

Du sind die Hoffnung, die mich die ganze Nacht über ruhig atmen lässt

Und dein ältester Freund ist der Mond


Oh, ich sehe den Sonnenschein in deinen Augen

Und ich fühle die Liebe die von deinem Herzen ausstrahlt

Oh, ich sehe das Licht das du zum Leben erweckst

Und ich fühle, wie großartig du diese Welt erlebst

Oh, ich sehe den Sonnenschein in deinen Augen

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
