Poetry On Odyssey: My Yellow Wood

If two roads diverged in the woods,

And I take the one less traveled,

Will our paths still meet one day?

Will I be able to see your shining smile and hear your bubbling laughter?

Or will what we have faded into nothing during our travels?

Let it be known that I never wanted to leave you,

I never wanted to go about it this way,

But times may tell if our love has remained constant,

If it has remained true.

I do hope it does.

I hope my travels do not interfere with your intentions,

With your life.

However, I do hope that in your life there is a glimmer of me.

And whether we remain together, or not,

That the image of me stays with you,

So I am not forgotten on that trail.

I do not want to become only a set of footprints on the ground,

Prints that will be washed away by rain and other people coming along the same trail.

Have I done enough to keep you thinking of me?

Have I done enough to keep the memories we created in your heart?

Do not see it as though I'm leaving you.

Though our paths may separate now,

We have no way of knowing what is around the bend.

And I long to see your path cross mine,

Again

And again

And again.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
