Poetry On Odyssey: High School

This is just a little word of advice for the kids.

Either you’re a cool kid or a fucking dweeb

If you’re not drinking, you’re smoking weed

If you do neither, you're probably getting A’s and B’s

While your friends look less like 8’s and 9’s and more like, 2’s and 3’s


Now obviously this isn’t an accurate depiction

But when you’re that age, you might feel like you’re in that position

Caring more about babes than grades, changing your disposition

Being the popular kid becomes the primary mission


Acne, braces, glasses, you look like a fool

Become a jock and pick on kids, now you're a tool

So you focus on the negative and say ‘fuck you’ to school

Now your social life’s a little better, but your GPA’s turned to stool


You got mad friends? Good for you

You just got in trouble? Who stood for you?

Meet a few kids but befriend them? Nah, that’s something you couldn’t do

Off to the kool kids klub where they act like they’re too ‘good for you’


Spelled it with 3 Ks cause often times they shun ‘em all

Burning different ideas cause their word's the only writing on the wall

Fuck ‘em, if they treat you shitty, you shouldn’t care to even greet ‘em at the mall

Cause being different when everyone’s doing the same shit is what actually takes some balls


Focus on improving, don’t look at it as lame

Cause lame is spending 4 years in an institution and staying the same

You like English? Keep reading

Into numbers? Math blaster those exams like it’s a game

Just cause you’re good at ball and on a team it don’t make you LeBron James


Grind in the present, so you can relax in the future

Don’t become a dummy and make mommy pay for a tutor

Stop fighting for world star and talking shit to seem cooler

Both of those are only quick ways to get you some sutures


Read between the lines, and calculate your moves

You may not be a dancer but everybody finds their groove

You might start off digging hip hop, then have that Rawr XD phase

All that matters is when you do change, it puts you in a better place

If you dig someone, just be self aware of your detrimental ways

Don’t hesitate, cause the result may feel like a slap in the face


A little word of advice for the gullible folk guarded by their moms

If you’re on the computer, don’t listen to kids telling you to go on redtube.com

It ain’t relevant to YouTube and you’re going to look dumb

I’ve seen a kid do it once and they had to call his mom


Be confident, calm, cool and collected

You may slip up and probably get rejected

But you do you and you’ll find yourself get respected

Keep the eyes on the prize, your words and thoughts connected


Don’t make it a low point, it’s called high school, duh

It’s cliché, but try your best, don’t be that tight fool, bruh

If you're slacking, stay mad till you do better in class

Cause you can pay for school, but you can’t buy that

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
