A Poem: I Swear

A poem for the complicated feelings.

8 Tracks

I hate him; I swear I do.

His sardonic tone never ceases.

And his humor is unbearably senseless.

And his face—oh his face.

How I hate that so much more.

Grinning like a mythical feline,

That smile is so deliberately maddening.

I hate him; I swear I do.

And I’ll never understand his erratic attitude.

He’s not just black and white;

He’s a rainbow of enigmas.

I hate him; I swear I do.

His eyes are like small oceans

Of openly, treacherous secrecies.

What goes on behind them?

I wish he would just tell me.

I hate him; I swear I do.

However, I must admit that I am curious.

I wonder why it had to be him.

Why must he make me feel this bizarre way?

And force my happiness to stay?

Only around him is my smile ever honest.

Only around him am I ever myself.

What a deceiver I am.

What a trickster he is too.

But I love him; I truly I do.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
