What’s your addiction?

Instagram! I knew it.

If you love to be on Instagram, either posting your pictures or stalking someone 52 weeks deep, you would know some really cool accounts. Instagram is one social media platform that will not only make you look good with its 24 different types of filter but also allow you to show your creativity.

While some just like to post their sexy selfies or brag about their brand new iPhones or Nike shoes, there are some people who use Instagram to share their artistic talent. One of my absolute favorite Instagram account is R.M. Drake, a self-published writer. Robert Macias, who goes by the name R.M. Drake, has 1.5 million followers on Instagram. He has a celebrity following -- celebrities like Alicia Keys, Khloe Kardashian, Shay Mitchell, and Ludracris -- and let's not forget about his massive and passionate fan base. His account has thousands of posts set on a handmade gray paper, in a typewriter font that contains excerpts of his writings, which contemplates on love, loneliness, and death. His posts have thousands of likes and comments, and for a writer who got famous through Instagram posts and not a publishing house, this is pretty impressive!

Most of his works are excerpts from his ongoing works, like short stories or novels. It is like short poems, and though he says his writings are not exactly poetry, his fans call them poetry because something as beautiful and dark like that should be called nothing but poetry. His poetry lies between the classic and the modern. It has this tint mix that makes it bewitching.

His poems maybe six lines long, but they have profound meaning and sadness infused in them. The reason why he, as a self-publishing writer, is more successful than other self-publishing writers and can afford to live through writing is because his poems are raw and they has a diary-like feel to them. People can totally relate to them because his poems expose how a person feels -- it is like self-therapy. Oh! I love that man so much!

He makes me feel that I am not the only one who is going through a stressful time or always bothered about the norms of the society. His poems are rebellious. The feels you get when you read his poems are too real. After you read his poems, you feel like he knows you, and the poem is exactly about how you feel, and it’s just that he's got a way with words. He can flawlessly write it down and share it on Instagram.

People who write poetry are the sexiest! How wonderful it would be to have a mind as raw and cordial as his. One of my personal favorite poem is the "The Rain Song." I sometimes feel like he knows me. (*inserts thoughtful emoticon*)

If you have an Instagram account (well, who doesn't?), you should definitely follow R.M. Drake. Reading his poems will assure you that there is someone who is writing poems about you! He has also written books like "Beautiful Chaos," "A Brilliant Madness," and "Black Butterfly." His books are on the list of bestselling book in Amazon's poetry category. Raw talent!

Follow him and get some real feels.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
