Poem of the Month: Hurricane

You are a whirlwind.

Poem of the Month: Hurricane
Daily Mail

It’s hard to comprehend you

For one second, you are a hurricane;

Constantly changing and swirling your emotions everywhere

And another second later

You are as soothing as the ocean breeze

And we are in sync like ocean waves crashing into a pale white sand.

It’s hard to understand you,

When one day your heart yearns to conjoin mine

And another you could watch me walk out the door for the last time,

And you wouldn’t fucking blink an eye

If I said I never wanted to see you again.

You reside in the shadows that follow me while I stand out in the sunshine,

You’re only there when the light fills up my eyes

And disappear as soon as the light is gone

Where the only things that blankets me is regret.

I regret my eagerness to your 2am open arms

When I should have waited to see how open you would be at 1pm

Where your open arms turned into denial.

Nobody should have to fight someone’s soul

To turn a “you” and “me” into a “we”

But here I am

Gambling on our hearts at the worn out poker table

And even though you won’t bet on us,

I’m all in.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

two women enjoying confetti

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.
