I know that there is a stigma that comes with poetry. That it is all sad and serious and full of tears. Well, I am here to prove that very wrong, like so wrong. These poems will all make your day a little brighter and cause you to chuckle.

1. "Thinking About You" by Mike Taylor


This poem is not only really cute, but also full of puns. Send it to that person you're crushing, and I am sure that they will come right to you.

2. "For the People Who Ask Me If I'm Tired" by Justin Lamb

This poem gives me hope for our future because people who ask me if I am tired are the worst. The actual worst.

3. "Childhood" by the New York team at Brave New Voices


For all of you 90's kids out there, this is the poem for you! Full of great references from childhood, ranging from Urkle to Yu-Gi- Oh

4. "Drop-Off Lines" by Desireé Dallagiacomo

This one is for any person who has wanted to tell someone to just go away. It is perfect for the next time you go to the bar.

5. "To the Boys Who May One Day Date My Daughter" by Jesse Parent

This poem is equally sweet as it is funny. It will make all people laugh about this strange conundrum of dating.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
