Poetry On Odyssey: My Blue

I have a secret, and only through these six poems will I reveal it.

1.

11 days have felt like months by your side

Since my soul constantly feels electrified

By you and your blue eyes.

During our endless conversations

And quiet stare's,

My heart opens widely for you,

And only thoughts of you linger through my mind.

As days and nights go by,

I am eager to see how our relationship unfolds

And what the future holds.

As time passes by,

And I sit by your side,

I feel as though our souls intertwine.

Even though we come from different roots,

Our paths crossing was no coincidence,

Because my heart is finally beginning to feel complete.

2.

Thoughts of you warm my heart

my stomach fills with butterflies

my mind lingers beyond its space

grateful that our paths crossed

lucky for your patience

always listening to your opinions

eager to learn from your perspectives

feeling secure just by the way our lips meet

the sense of loneliness has gone away

hopeful to change the world with you

and fulfill all of our dreams

side by side I pray that we be

for these past sixty days

shared with memories of you

are the happiest I've ever been...

3.

It's crazy how much time we spend together

But my heart can never get enough

Every second spent apart

My chest feels overwhelmed

I look at the moon

And the sky above

And think about the time that is spinning past us

My cheeks fluster

My eyes water

For unexplainable and unfamiliar reasons

All I know and want is you.

4.

Roots tall, and green

Trunk strong

A human being tree filled with

such natural loving energy

Never selfish

always generous

Only the lucky ones get the chance

to encounter his soul within.

5.

All of my life, I've been in love with trees.

Not only because I can climb on them whenever I need,

or cling onto them in hopes of feeling free-

but because I've always felt that when I sat under the tree,

my soul intertwined with its roots,

making me feel safe and secure.

Its branches grew leaves that would give me shade and

cover over me-

like an umbrella, but strongly protecting me.

Its strong trunk holds me together when I am feeling my worst,

the leaves never abandon me, for they are constantly surrounding me,

the branches are never too tall or inaccessible for me to climb,

and the flowers grow- even on the rainiest days.

Thank you for being my tree.

6.

The blood in my heart has always crashed like ocean waves

because to me the relationships in the past

were only ever unsatisfactory or mentally abusive

but now with you in my life- even though it may be too soon to tell-

everything is calming down the blood in my veins.

The salt is finally sweetening up,

the scars are almost vanishing,

my soul is finally mending,

the thoughts in my mind are somewhat settling,

and the love for myself is continuously growing.

Feeling like myself while attached to someone else,

has never felt achievable until our paths crossed.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
