Poetry On Odyssey: Dear Covid-19

Dear Covid-19, we're all stronger than you think.

Dear Covid-19,

All you seem to be aware of is boredom and isolation

But, behind closed doors, there's more you cannot see

Prom dresses thrown out, hard work becomes a slap in the face, and all you see is irritation?

And there is no remorse for anyone? How about the NWCC?

Dear Covid-19,

Workers: The people who work non-stop shifts only to have passion driving them until the end

The people who have to stay humble knowing there are other countries going through the same time

To believe it isn't surreal or frightening has workers having to pretend

Just to come home worried that they spread it or already did at anytime

Dear Covid-19,

You may be winning at one thing: sadistic comedy

People walk past the "wear masks" and "stay home" signs as if they see this as a joke

Oh how wrong they are

Covid, your humor is not making anyone laugh no matter how much you poke

Dear Everybody,

To the kids with an unstable household and guidance: you will get through this and your captivity

To the next graduating classes: keep your head up because if no one does, we're only fused with negativity

To the parents: keep it together and think about what truly matters now

To the careless: relationships may break but the pandemic won't care like you do when you're with each other

To everyone else: This is the one time we can only get through this if we don't stick together


Stay safe, wash your hands, and social distance. Please take this seriously and keep in mind all the workers who are working non stop and doing their part. Please do your part as well.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.
