Restless Souls: A Poem

Let yourself go.

Restless Souls: A Poem

Having a restless and anxious soul has its perks and downfalls

Relaxation comfort and being content are foreign

A lot of people will have a lot of bad things to say about that

Let them talk

But I see it more as something that keeps you motivated that keeps you ever changing ever growing

Its exhausting but always move, always try to get more out of life

It is short, but you've been blessed with a beautiful one

Make it count

Wander and move

Live not exist

There is only one way to describe the feeling buried in the center

It's a fire a fire that is doused when It is trapped by other peoples expectations

Regardless of that the fire still smolders

That ember will never be put out because it is the fuel to your person

To everything you are and everything you can become

It is strength

It is the reason that despite the fact that going miles only seems to give an inch you keep going

There is many things in this world much grander than you

Respect your life and yourself enough to experience it

Go passionately and fearlessly towards a goal

Go upwards

Don't look back unless it's to learn a lesson

You have a world to be free in

To learn to teach

Do not trap yourself amongst bad people

Do not trap yourself in your own head

You have a soul that was given to you as a gift and as a blessing

Don't do it a disservice

Let it out

But don't let it out just to gain for yourself

When you're free share it

Make change, help others, spread a good message

Be the reason someone else restless soul feels like it can move

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
