I Am Me: My Version Of A Shakespeare Sonnet In 2016. Number I: I Am Me.

The longest title for the longest sonnet I will probably ever write in my life.

I Am Me: My Version Of A Shakespeare Sonnet In 2016. Number I: I Am Me.
Cj Williams

Shall we catch a movie of outrageous proportions?

Where characters blind us with their looks and pecs.

Explosions and sex is what we humans eat up.

So forget the art in movies and show me machine guns that are bigger than my hips.

Maybe we can skip the movie and move onto a house party?

Where people of multiple classes meet to go on a hallucinogenic journey.

Where we don't care who we meet but what we eat.

Where the drink can matter less, we want to be gone so we don't remember.

We want to wake up in the morning next to a stranger who we don't know but fell in love with.

Skip the party and head to a Mcdonalds.

The cheapest food for the cheapest bridals.

Shall I impress you or take the easy way out.

Maybe I'll consult my friends who've never left me alone without a doubt.

But my friends are disappearing, where have they gone?

Am I too blind to see that I'm all alone?

What is this curse that you've put on me?

When you leave then who will I be?

Will I be depressed and no longer have a life?

No. I refuse please bring me up to speed I have a long life that I need to see.

I will not linger and I will not pout, this is my life along with many others.

Let me see me in a moment of heat, under the sun where the grass touches my feet.

I am not Shakespeare, I am not Aristotle.

I am the simplest of all forms, I am me.

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

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

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.
