Poetry On Odyssey: The Defined Blur

"As I strut on through the blur, forever and always towards thee."

Poetry On Odyssey: The Defined Blur

Not piercing, nor shuddering, but simply all is cold.

For life is about to, it seems, unfold

Before my eyes

And throughout the skies...

In the defined blur.

The generous blanketing of this space

That was begotten by the face

Of a man presently at home by the fire,

And all I do is walk and stalk…

Through the defined blur.

Gazing, perhaps searching, expeditiously for you,

Along the white-lines of the pew

Made up by the glory of this street,

Stupefied by the religious persistence…

Of the defined blur.

My vision is fogged, but ever so clear,

My limbs are numb, but not from fear.

For, the time, though late, is no stake

To pause my stroll towards you and for you…

Within the defined blur.

My heart doth stir.

The wind doth whir

Through the limbs of the trees

And through the limbs of me.

But it sustains this beautiful white cloud

Encompassing everyone, all to be wowed,

Of the ever-presence…

Of you and me,

As I strut on through the blur,

Forever and always towards thee.

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.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

865
Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
