Poetry On Odyssey: No

Written to No One.

When asked the simple question:

"Do you love her?"

I look back, smile and shake my head

"No."

Love is not the standard by which I rate our relationship,

The thing we have does not need words to describe it

It does not need to be placed into a confined box where it becomes trapped.

The word love is used so easily,

Used constantly by everyone to everyone

Even to those they don't love to make their relationship valid.

So no, I do not love her.

I cherish her.

I cherish the way she smiles,

I cherish when she laughs.

I appreciate her.

I appreciate the way she listens,

I appreciate when she understands me.

I do not love her,

Because love is a wall put up my society to create relationships

That truly mean nothing at all.

And I want us to be more than that,

More than just nothing at all.

Letter To My High School Friend Group

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM)

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
