If theres one thing many can agree on in life, its that heartbreak hurts like hell. But unfortunately its something everybody deals with from day to day. This is a poem I wrote about dealing with that.


Everyday used to feel like heaven

And I worried I was a clueless fool

And as time passed you proved me right

For being scared of getting used to you

You broke my heart into pieces

And this isn't the 1st time

I had chased you for 2 years

Now I'm done you wanna be mine?

I can't keep chasing fantasies

Cant chase what's not meant to be

All I can chase is my destiny

Regardless if you're not in it with me

I've wasted so much time believing that you would ever care

I've wasted so much effort to show you how I'll always be the one that's there

For you

To Be the one that will hold you

To Be the one that will love you

The one to give my whole damn universe up to you

Cause fact is

Wanted to make you my world

But the systems out of balance

I wonder if your feelings were ever there

You throw these feelings in my face

And your face locked in my heart

I wonder how things would be different

If we had a chance to restart

But a restart just loses value when it's not from the heart

And if there is no heart

Than I wish no part

I can't keep throwing myself out

When it's not to be caught

You don't actually want me

You just want me to want you

And fact is I wanted to

Yet false love is impossible

Cause fact is if we're being real,

You could have had me

but I guess that's a future that we never gon' see

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
