Poetry On Odyssey: You Are Dust

The world will keep you down, but you are made for so much more.

"Dust you are
And Dust you will return."
They look down on you.
You look down on you.
Words meant to keep you down below.
You are Dust.
You are nothing.

You are under their feet
And on their walls
Covering their bookshelves and
Filling their lungs like a plague.
You are Dust.
You are hated.

You are that which is
Always, whether wanted or not. That which will be.
That which was.
All things fall to Dust, no matter how pure.
All things become Dust, wanted or not.

"Dust you are
And Dust you will return."
They look up to you, and why
Not? Who said Dust was not of the heavens?
You are proud.
You are celestial.

You are always- who cares if they want you.
You were once, and still go on.
You are. You are beautiful,
Watching all, all look up
To you. Cast their wishes upon you.

You are Stardust, pure and shining.
You are perfect- eternally so.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

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.
