Poetry: Remember Me
media1.santabanta.com

Say you'll remember me.

Not for the pink bows,

that I choose to wear in my hair.

Not for my skin,

that you always preferred fair.

And especially,

not for the way I tell long stories.


Remember me for my grace,

not my face.

How I can captivate a room.

Remember me for my words

that will forever circle through your head.


Remember me in your weakest moments,

when you have no one else to turn to,

and maybe in your happiest, too.

When you're on top of the world,

and wish you could share it with me.

When you search to find someone who can't complete you,

remember the feelings i gave you--

and how i'll never find myself again

because a part of me is with you.


Just remember me,

and the legacy

I will leave behind.

I know you'll remember me,

because no one forgets

the love of their life.


Someday,

my name will be all around for you to see;

you'll never be able to escape me.

i know you won't erase our memory.


Remember me--

whether it's tomorrow,

when you're 30,

or 55,

and just know

you let go

of an inspiration.


Be careful what you wish for

because you went out with a curse.

You drank your poison.


I find myself going back though,

“My sweet escape” playing on the radio.

When the sun poured in

Right onto your skin.

I’d never seen a portrait quite so picturesque.


So remember me,

like i'll always remember you.


Remember me.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
