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

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
