"Tourists come and go, but they don't love Charleston like I do"

Poetry on Odyssey: Charleston

The best city in the South, you'll never want to leave

Campus is in the middle of downtown, so much here to be achieved

The landscapes and architecture are beautiful

The history is what makes the city unusual

I love attending school here, but there is so much more here than a college

Endless boutiques and cafes to try, life is almost flawless

Time truly moves slower down here,

So sit on your porch and relax in your rocking chair

Three different beaches to choose from, but that's not even the best part

Each different colored house is like a masterpiece of art

Walking on rainbow row, an explosion of colors

Every day, there is something new to discover

Studying hard, after all I am here for school

But in my free time, I like to have adventures too

Sneaking into hotel pools with friends

In Charleston, the fun never ends

Tourists come and go, but they don't love Charleston like I do

Voted the number 1 city in the US, listen to the reviews!

After graduation, I want to live here forever

The charm and beauty cannot be measured

Pictures do not do it justice

I feel like i'm home, no need for a compass

I'm so happy to be back and for the school year to start

Each day, the city captures more of my heart

If you haven't been yet, then come on down

There's something truly special about the South

Thick southern accents fill the streets

All the locals are kind-hearted and sweet

Walking down King street, I have nothing to buy

But I still like to stroll and shop with my eyes

Walk to the waterfront park and see the pineapple fountain

The times I have done this is countless

Endless love for my beautiful home and city

The best place to study hospitality.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
