Poetry On Odyssey: Learning To 'Fall' In Love with Fall

Poetry On Odyssey: Learning To 'Fall' In Love with Fall

I'm not a fan of cooler air,

But pumpkin picking is my favorite thing, I swear.

I don't like the sound of the leaves crunching under me,

But then again, I can wear my favorite jeans, some with holes in the knee.

Unfortunately, it gets dark out earlier,

Luckily, without the humidity, my hair doesn't get curlier.


I may not be fond of the chilly breeze,

but it's hot chocolate season, yes, please!

Scary things are not up my alley,

Yet I love football games and the big rally!

Some say I'm too old to dress up to trick-or-treat...

Fair enough, then the left-over candy is all mine to eat!


Pumpkin spice isn't my cup of tea,

It's that time of year to go on a fall shopping spree!

Big sweaters, flannels, baggy sweatpants, and hair in a messy bun...

Carving pumpkins with your closest friends is certainly my definition of fun.

Temperatures will continue to drop,

And I'll continue to buy fuzzy socks, no I won't stop.


The scent of comfort foods fill the kitchen,

With a messy clean up after a delicious, meal I ask others to pitch in!

I don't like apples much,

But pour caramel on an apple, it's just the right touch!

There's nothing like my mom's fresh chicken noodle soup on a brisk rainy day

It's that time of year to break out the rain boots as I think rain, rain, go away


After a long day, sit down with a classic Halloween movie and your favorite snack,

Turn the fireplace on and hear the wood crack.

I may not be the biggest fan of this season overall,

But I'm learning to fall in love with fall.

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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.

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!)
