The Box

I took a stab at writing a poem for the first time.

i look to the right and see a wall

i look to the left and another one

i look north and see a wall

i look south and another one

i must be in a box

the walls get smaller

the box is small

so small

so small

stop

i am the box

the top is open

items placed inside

then sealed

packing tape, duck tape, super glue

i am the box

now i am in the box

but now the box is in a car, an Uber, a cab

this is a taxi

i pick the lock on the box

i see heads

Tyler tells me i am still alive

but soon will be dead

the box is in the ground

there is no light

the box is now glass

and i regain some sight

i am outside the box now

looking in

i can see through to the other-side

nothing

clear

Dear

fear

i can't hear

but then i stop

i touch the glass

it breaks

shattered

broken

there is no more box

or so i thought

as the walls get bigger

the ceiling gets higher

i am losing control

i am full

i am done

i am out of the box

free

then i stop

look right, nothing

look left, nothing

up, down, all around

nothing

all the sudden Josh knocks

i am still the box

People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

music sheet

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
