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.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
