Poetry on the Odyssey: A series of truthful moments

In This Article:

Poetry is different for everyone. Poetry is vague. Poetry is a way to fit your story into the words and let it impact your life depending on your experiences. I wrote these to connect with a variety of people and let everyone interpret them differently. Let it sink in and connect with you.

Dreams to Reality

She fell asleep to the sound of piano

Holding my fingers

with a glass of wine next to the bed

And a book on her chest

Dreaming of a way to escape

To a better life

But all she wanted was a life with

morning to night laughter, lattes in the morning, a good book, someone to hold her hand and tell her that they loved her even at her worst moments, and someone to wake up to every morning and smile.

And then she woke up.

And realized that everything she ever wanted was sitting right next to her.

And all her dreams came true.

You can fly little one

I held her in my arms

Feeling every gasp of air coming into her lungs

I wanted to call her mine

But with every broken breath a story unfolds

A series of broken moments to give one self a completely shattered heart

And all I ever wanted to do

was make that last breath turn into eternity

Every broken breath was a piece I wanted to fix.

And soon, with all the love I can shadow beneath her feet

She'd be free and fly again

Into the sky with every breath stronger than before.

Suffocation break through

I can't breath

I feel trapped in my own universe

Suffocating.

Just trying to escape

I don't feel accepted

I feel like a burden to society.

I feel like I am someone who no one wanted me to become.

But as time moves forward

And past experiences turn into dust

And my soul becomes alive

I am building up my own strength in this bubble

And finally for once in my life I feel strong enough to pop the bubble and break free

And be the person I knew I was supposed to be

And with that first gasp of fresh air

I feel free for the first time in my life

I can finally live again

And be the person I was always supposed to be.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
