An Odyssey Poem: Live Yo' Best Life​
Ethan Titus

This past year has been such a dream
Traveling to Anaheim, LA, Oceanside
Everywhere in between
It was all such a fun and amazing time
I'm so lucky to be here living my best life

I write for Odyssey, I'm a server and have great friends
The smile I share online and in person
Is more than genuine

I'm so happy, so much happier than before
I have my family, friends and dogs
What more could I ask for?

I used to think life was all about love
Money, popularity, being Regina George
Duh?

Well news flash honey, ain't shit about that

If you don't love yourself, don't expect anyone to back

I have Sam, Dani, Yolanda and Tay
I have April, Brandon, Q, Moe and the J's
I have Cyrus, Jake, Fox, all my furry friends
I have Grandma and Grandpa who I love always, to no end
We can't forget about Matt, Christina and Wes
Dad, Kayc, and both of their furry friends

My life is so awesome, I am so lucky
This poem might seem like I have it easy
I assure you I don't, and I'm not trying to be cheesy

Some days are absolutely harder than others
But at the end of it all, I don't need my mother

She ruined my life, and everyone around hers
Mostly mine, but hey, she doesn't care

When she pretended to have cancer
Some of us were smart enough to know better
I don't care about her, her feelings or her life
What can I say? She wasn't a mother

To my sisters I love so deeply forever
My brother I don't remember
Or whatever other kids she might have had

Being a big brother is such a blessing
I'm sorry I'm not there for school dances, but hopefully your wedding

I'm writing this poem for everyone out there
It gets better I promise, just believe in yourself
Get help, talk to friends, your family and counselors

You aren't alone, no matter what you think
High school sucks and hey, boys stink

You were the baddest bish in the sandbox
You still the baddest bish in all the land
It's about to be summer, live your best life
Hell, get a spray tan

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

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. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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!)
