Why I look Up In The Sky

A Poem For a Beloved Family Friend

91
Why I look Up In The Sky
Mary Mara

Sometimes the best people in our lives leave us. But sometimes it’s for the better. Whether it be for us, or for them. Being able to find something that makes you think of them is healthy, even just to say hi. Because letting go to someone you love is just too hard. This poem is for my friend Monica, I’ll never forget you and your beautiful soul.

Sometimes we look up in the sky

But for what reason?

Are we looking for birds? A plane?

Maybe something we aren’t aware of

Sometimes we have no reason

But I know the reason why I look up in the sky

It’s so much more than a random occurrence

Or to just see a thing

I look up in the sky

To see my friend because I miss her,

I look up in the sky

To smile at her,

I know the reason I look up in the sky

Is to make her day, and say

“Hey, I see you, you beautiful woman”

Because I know my friend is up there

Having the time of her life

Just like she would with me

I look up in the sky

Because I know she isn’t in pain anymore

And that’s a relief

I look up in the sky and I laugh

Because I know she would have loved that

My snort would make her snort

And the fun would never end

I look up in the sky

To show her that I still love her

And always will

I will never forget you,

I love you

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
