Poetry On Odyssey: Second Chances

A different origin.

A different race.

But same at heart,

and all the same, obstacles to face.


A group of friends that made her laugh.

Eventually made it to the lowest of the lowest class.

That one person that was neglected.

How she wished to be accepted.


I went to her needing sympathy,

but she didn't give any empathy.


The opening of doors.

The fresh aroma walking on the floors.

The summoning of your presence,

and finding a group for acceptance.


The big chance right in front of my eyes.

The catch being the old me dies.


A time for change.

A time for sacrifice.


A new appearance.

My old self had made a disappearance.

To be accepted into the group of popularity,

with such clarity.


A few weeks later.

A realization came upon me.

A devil and an angel both summoned,

to make the choice.


The devil yells to stay.

But the angel says to rejoice.


With a big decision lying ahead of me,

it was like living in the dead sea.

The angel pulling me up, the devil pulling me down.

The decision was made, to go up without a frown.


A time for change.

A time for sacrifice.


Now the big challenge,

the challenge to be accepted once again.

By the same friends I turned my back against,

and I apologized for all the pain


I never realized.

I failed to see.

That changing myself,

wasn't the key


In no time,

they were friends again.

They tolerated her mistakes,

and accepted her into the group again


They were true friends.

They were never mad at her.

They always showed pride.

They stuck to her like glue.


And all the things we will do,

and all the memories we will make.

This will remain forever,

and to hope that our friendship will never fade.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
