Poetry On Odyssey: Shirtless

Nothing gold can stay, unless if you stay out in the sun too long — then you get a nice tan.

Poetry On Odyssey: Shirtless
Embassy of Russia / Twitter

Everyone likes going on summer vacation

Including even the leader of the Russian nation

When not bombing the Caucasus or conducting illegal invasions

Vladimir Putin poses shirtless for every occasion

Laying back in the sun, decked out in sunglasses

He sits back and watches as the time passes

Maybe he thinks his body will pick up all the lasses

Or maybe he's letting loose, and passing lots of gasses

But relaxation isn't the only thing he's fond of

Still wearing his shades, he looks kinda like a Russian Bono

He casts out his fishing rod into a big pond

And cooks it up and eats it as dusk goes to dawn

Putin is no stranger to bearing his chest

He likes to go shirtless because he thinks he's the best

In 2009, he rode a horse and became the subject of internet jest

Putin is pretty pale, he must be wearing 50 SPF!

But Putin isn't the only right-wing political figure

Who's fond of disrobing and posing for pictures

Alex Jones takes his shirt off when talking about Illuminati killers

And also when he's about to chow down and eat dinner

Alex Jones takes his shirt off even more than Vlad!

Even though his upper body looks very, very bad

When pushing quack medical supplements like they're the latest fad

Alex Jones poses for photos, that can only be described as - Sad!

Recently his ex-wife said in a deposition

Alex Jones takes his shirt off even during counseling sessions!

It seems as if Jones has no inhibitions

When engaging in upper-body expositions

Alex Jones even takes his shirt off on-air

Leaving his chest completely bare

He talks about how Building 7 disappeared into thin air

Even though no planes hit over there!

One must wonder why people of right-wing pedigree

Feel the need to display in this way their own masculinity

Maybe they have their own issues; they're self-conscious and compensating

Whatever it is, it's really, really, really embarrassing

Dear reader, you've seen how macho Putin and Alex Jones are

But what you're about to see next will leave you scarred

The next picture in this poem should be against the law

It's far more disturbing than anything you've seen so far

This next picture is a massive error

It reflects badly on the entire human species - all of us together

In the primordial contest of "Whose chest is barer?"

No one is worse than Geraldo Rivera!

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
