Poetry On Odyssey: Three types of love

In This Article:

The first love is often the shortest

It happens suddenly and without warning

Like a firework exploding in the night sky

It is beautiful and wondrous

I cannot imagine life without it

But it ends

Usually for some silly reason

Or because neither I nor you were mature yet

Looking back upon it I try to pretend it was not love

But it was all the love I knew at the time


The second type of love is most hurtful

This is the love you imagine would last forever

You learn from this love and it makes you stronger

Like all things that become strong

To become stronger you must be broken first

This love will betray you, lie to you, damage you

But in the end, you grow

You find what you truly want from another person

You find your limits

However, this love closes you

You became cautious with your heart


The third type of love is the most unexpected

We were comfortable in our loneliness

In the bleak emptiness, we found ourselves

Love crept back into our lives

Like the silent dawn, its light covered us completely

We could see everything now

Despite every wall, we built

Despite every emotion hidden away in the darkness

Everything came to the light created by love

We no longer hide anything from each other

We can finally see the beauty in our flaws

Because we grow together in every moment

In all of the vastness of the universe

We found each other


True love is something developed

It is not stumbled upon but earned

It is the greatest blessing because of the journey to it

It does not need to change or adapt

It is simply enough

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
