How Travel Junkies Love

They tell us there is no love for people who won't stay put

Don’t fall in love with me

Don’t fall in love with this wanderer of a soul

A heart that desires to see the world

More than love

Fingertips that want to touch regions more than humans

Feet that want to walk and relish in variations of soil

Eyes that want to see God in different pigments

Taste universe in the center of every plate

Feel heaven run across my lips in every language

As I try moving my mouth in ways I have never

I want this more that I want the ¨I do¨ kiss at the alter

I exist forever in moments never in places

So don’t fall in love with me

Don’t fall in love with this left-handed lover

I do everything a bit odd

Because the world wasn’t made for me

It was made for those who do things the right way

For those who like Sunday family dinner

And I rather treat the world like deep southern soul food buffet

I have got to have an unmatched zeal for a place

If I’m gonna go back for seconds

Don’t fall in love with this train wrecked soul

I’ll leave train tracks on your arms

I am a hard habit to kick

I am already married to this journey

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
