Poetry On Odyssey: A Gliding Passion

You'll learn what you love and love what you do- always remember to be you.

Poetry On Odyssey: A Gliding Passion

Passion is something that burns within the walls of your heart

It's noticeable when you suffer from it

Since is not something that you can withstand apart

Nor not something you can quit


Whether you grew up surrounded by it as a child

Or picked it up a little later on

The feeling you will get is not mild

And your passion will never be gone


That feeling of excitement and strength

Will take you to new places

And throughout your journey

You'll meet many memorable faces


You'll learn what you love

And love what you do

Think of it as a perfect fit similar to a hockey glove

But always remember to be you


Think of how you pushed through your hesitation

And who others that didn't believe

That your passion can turn into mesmerization

And you will eventually achieve


You see yourself sharper than a skate

And know you grow every day

Even if you have a lot on your plate

You won't give up on what's here to stay


It is clear that you will face difficult times

Similar to unsharpened blades on ice

But sooner or later you'll be in your prime

And thank yourself for rolling the dice


You'll learn that being a woman is truly something great

And while working with hockey

You have the power to defend hate

Even if the road gets a little rocky


You will come across good and bad days

Just like a brand new snapped stick

But thank yourself for your many ways

Because you know your passion was the right pick

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
