A Poetic Rant

Poetry On Odyssey: Poetry For The Weak
Kasey Baltz

I don’t get it—how can everyone just walk around in life like everything is ok. It is not, nothing is, nothing ever was.

You say that you're happy, post pictures online, fake it and never make it—aren’t you living a lie? There is so much going on in this world that people are just pushing to the side. When we're all just humans, the ones presently living and alive.

There is no past present or future, there's only now, we're all here just trying to thrive. But no one opens up, you can’t sit down with a stranger and debate about the political bust. Just fake smiles, and oh, if you're a feminist you must be crazy, just that person we all don’t want to hang out with.

I’m sorry I'm an activist and believe in change and power to the people who need it. We're all living now with scars and bruises with no meaning. No meaning to our name. Trying to change ourselves but we know very clearly, it’s not us, it’s the world, but that won't change in four years. Humanity has forgotten who we really are.

All a bunch of mole rats running on metal wheel bars.

Chased by time, forgetting the end is very near. Someone has taken the creativity and passion out of you dear. Sucked out your individuality, just one of the robots in the system. Clinking away on the computer keys but nobody but you can listen.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
