A poem about transitions in life

One thing about life is always going to be certain,

there are multiple doors and all of them lead to an end,

however, if we choose the right door,

the one that will lead us to where we are destined,

then by the end of our novel we will find ourselves in all sorts of ways,

even in ways we never expected.


Seasons change just like the months on the calendar do,

just like that relations come to an end too.

Yes, it is sad,

yes, we will sometimes be glad or even mad,

but we know deep down that there is a part of us

that always knew this to be true,

and while we sit and contemplate what door to walk through.


We can sit on our rooftops and stare into the star-filled night sky,

where we listen to our favorite soundtrack

as the world passes by,

but until we actually take a chance,

we need to step forward,

reach for the doorknob,

and take a deep breath,

cause on the other side of whatever door we choose

will ultimately lead us to the path that was meant for us.


A man that I once called uncle once told me,

"Everything will be alright,

so, pick up your chin,

and push on,

because there's more to this thing we call life."

While that man is no longer with us on this planet,

his words speak louder than most,

because I now have found myself reaching for

the doorknob that I seek,

and with his guidance always there,

these series of doors are no longer daunting.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
