Poem To Poop To

Walking no pushing my body, thick thighs and brown

eyes to swing from coral hand-hold to the long tree,

I breathe and catch the fish circling.

like fall leaves and I know that they will leave,

if I believe that the sunshine keeps evil away,

but how is that true when sunlight is where most evil is portrayed

from killer cops to killed cops

to starving people being ignored on the street.

what's left for us to see that is not already being covered,

covered up by the police and tv, so I sink down to let go and swim

but water begins to boil, fins, and bubbles, and ID’s being pulled out of pockets

putting fear into the eyes of blue souls and iterators,

but once I begin to speak my mind say the truth that I see and make it fine,

the water and current begin to rise and I am, no we are

pulled under by the gloved hand of the blind system pulling us deeper why,

our air grows older and arms grow weaker the moments begin to draw to an end

what would superman do If he saw us drowning being drowned brought to justice

probably not much cause was not his demographic with no long blond hair and a short white dress

so I make the choice to just breathe in to give into the hand that's been pulling, pulling us deeper to consequences that were held over our head since we had one and but this is all hypothetical talk of things that could never exist in a fair world. Right?

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.
