A painfully realistic story of a love that fell apart.


I walk up the street, the middle of June

And into the door, I'm greeted by you

I smile as I see you, and you pull me in tight

And ask if I'd do you the honor of staying the night.


Nights turned into weeks, and soon weeks into more

Of everyday me walking into your door

And after so long, we looked at the stars

And declared that your house was finally ours.


So month after month, we spent them together

The relationship only getting better and better

Until one night you came home, and I know you weren't sober

I remember so vivid, it was the start of October.


You sat me down on the corner of your bed

And you watched as my face turned from light pale to red.

Because I knew what was coming, so I stared at the floor

"I'm sorry, I just don't love you anymore."


And that very night, I slept on the ground

Stared at the wall, in my own tears I drowned

Got up at 3 a.m. and packed up my stuff,

And left you a note: "I thought I was enough."


The seasons have changed, and now it's December

As I walk up the street and can't help but remember

The feeling you gave me, god, its far too soon

I can't return to this place until the middle of June.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
