Where The Window Meets The Light
ChloƩ Bergeron

These empty rooms

They seem to know more about our souls than we do

After we've washed our skin of sin

We wait and watch and wish for the city lights to fill our souls

We laugh and party with friends

But when we get in

We go to the window

Looking for something outside of ourselves that we couldn't find within

We see through the glass

How the light shines through

We try to mend

We try to bend our thoughts

We remember how we laughed

How we danced in the Chapel Light

We prayed we'd find ourselves

But it never worked as well as them

And they always found us

They always find us

These Windows

in these numbered rooms

through these halls of doors

we may all be lost

But we will find ourselves there

Behind the windows that mingle the outside with what's within

Where My glass meets my light

Meet me there

That's where I long to dance

That's where I long to grow

That's where we'll build these bodies back up again

that's where I'll build my body back up again.

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

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.

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.
