Stars Wars in Heaven

You were beautiful-

A laugh so original and joyful-

Music to everyone's ears-

For everyone loved you

I still remember your eyes-

A light behind them


The name you wore-

Tons of Fun-

And I remember,

The day a reaper came

A message was heard

My mother's tears still come

And the tears I still hold


If God is real, kiss your forehead

Take away decay,

Narcotics did-

And let you lay peacefully in your grave-

You held my heart forever and a day-

I hold you above the stars

Every time I preform, in your name


Nathan, you were gone too soon.

Nathan Mullen died at the age 31 in his home on April 9, 2015. He had had a long fight with addiction but that does not define who he was. He was an intelligent, talented, fun, and loving man. He was an actor, musician, poet and songwriter. He was loved and is held dearly in many hearts. He was always trying to put a smile on others faces and he held a smile through hard times.

Speak up about Drug Abuse, and more importantly, stop glorifying it.

If you or anyone you know is suffering from an addiction to drugs, please don't hesitate to contact SAMSHA at 1-800-662-HELP(4357).

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
