Hey readers! I decided to write this week's piece on just how vast our imagination can truly be. It all begins with the hope and belief that such wonder exists within us. You could find yourself anywhere you wanted- near the sea or dancing on the clouds. The possibilities are endless, but when we wake up, that awe doesn't have to leave; dreams can help us achieve our goals in reality. I used to find this idea too good to be true, but when you place more faith in who you are and where you want to go, you'd be surprised how your approach changes. I hope someone out there finds this poem worthwhile in their pursuit of dreams. Much love and peace to you!


I dreamed that

I travelled all around

Somewhere in the places

I encountered trees and grass

So lush, they seemed to be like

An emerald, so mysteriously vibrant

The ocean sparkled like

The brightest crystal, it's blue deep and crisp

The birds sang together like

A symphony of wonder, the rhythm somehow familiar

There were flower beds that spanned

As wide as the eye beholds with colors

Mirroring a painter's pallet

Clouds appeared more delicate as if

They were bundles of pillows

A mountain was off in the distant and looked

Majestic and so sure, a sense of awe filled me

How dazzling this dream was for

Everything in it was made definitely

Every detail seemed to be more amazing than

The last, as I tried to wrap my imagination around

Such a world like this

The sun warmed my skin,

Reminding me of a blanket on a winter's night

As the wind whirled effortlessly and gently around me,

A tear dropped into the waves of the sea, for I wondered,

'Does this imagination truly belong to me?'

It was surreal at best for a world such as this

Placed my doubts, fears, and negativity to rest

It was like the home of anticipation

The beginning of motivation

I wanted to see more

And then, I awoke, in reality's realm once again

Yet because of that dream

I knew my dreams of the present

Stood a fighting chance

Until next time

Dreamland

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
