My dear silly girl, what are you hiding behind your eyes?

Poetry On Odyssey: Silly Girl

My dear silly girl,

What are you hiding behind your eyes?

Is it how you sit alone and try not to cry?

Is it those thoughts pounding in your head of how someday you hope to be wed?

Dearest silly friend,

Will you ever say, why you sit there and stare because you can't look away?

You can't look away from the girls with big hair and their silly ol' friends,

Or the boys with tan skin whose very words make you want to sin.

Please, silly friend,

Do tell me one thing...

Tell me what makes you cry and fight instead of smile and dream?

Don't you dream, my silly girl, of flying with birds in a place where words no longer hurt?

Come and share silly friend,

Share your story with me.

The story of a girl who no longer dreams.

My silly girl, my angel in the sky.

My lovely little bird, no longer does she fly.

Dear silly bird,

Come back to me.

Come be with your friends in a land of dreams.

Turn your light on and flap your wings.

Don't let others crush your dreams.

Please, my dearest friend,

Let me tell you one thing. There are many who will try to dash your dreams.

Some people are hateful and some people don't care.

Sometimes our own voices will cause us the most fear.

Don't stop dreaming or trying to fly.

No matter how hard it gets

You should always, have to try.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
