Who I Am

This is who I am, who I want to be

Who I Am
500 pix

I'm an introvert

I like to stay inside

and read sometimes

I used to be really shy,

but I'm coming out of my cocoon

so I can fly free and become a butterfly

My true colors come out

blue, orange, yellow, green---

the limit doesn't exist

with all those colors that are vibrant,

Put all of them together so it spells ''ROY G BIV"


I'm a writer and a poet,

but before I didn't know it

I guess you could say words are pretty important to me

I'm just a kid who loves rhymes and gluing words

and hearing poets and rappers bust out a poetic verse


Math and science aren't my strong suits,

but art and music always will be connected to my creativity

at least, that's what my closest friends know about me


I have some rainy days and sunny days

but that doesn't stop me from wanting to play outside

and stay up late to see the sunset

or wake up so see the sunrise

I know both are a beautiful sight to see

There is no need for a debate

for who agrees or disagrees

which one is better

because both are a part of nature


The moral of the story is

I've been through a lot,

But that doesn't mean

I didn't have positivity and support

to fill that gray slot


I have found people who have made me feel more confident

Worth it

And help me stay true to my significance


I'd love to travel and see the world

so one;

I can change the lives of others

and two;

to simply experience

what it's like to see an incredible view

from the mountain top to below the sea

and to most importantly, taste all the yummy food

that the locals have to offer me


This is who I am

I'm still figuring out who I want to be

Luckily, since I'm still at the golden age of nineteen

I have time to resurface my youth before entering my twenties


I want to discover more of the world

so everyone can listen to what I have to say,

which will always end with,

thank you, and have a wonderful day

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
