Why Us? An Original Poem

Pain

And Suffering

Is what I've had all these years


I watched you be happy

With others

It broke me


About twenty years

Since the first day

We met


At the age of 7

You would take me

On pizza dates


You walways tell mom

“She will be my wife

When I grow up”


I was so innocent

And didn't worry about

Marriage


Years passed by

We been through it

All


But, there is nothing

Absolutely nothing

We can't overcome


We are

two strong Eagles

fighting the storm


You make me

stronger...

Did you know?


We've made

Mistakes

We are humans


What's most beautiful

About us is

We know God


If he's the center of us

Nothing the devil

Can do to tear us apart


You love me,

I Love you…

I always did


I get a little too crazy

When I think of losing you

I could never


After all look at us

We left and always came back

Running in circles


We're like two kids

When we are together

Silly


I can never stay mad at you

You put a smile on my face

Sometimes I try to hide it


You catch me smiling

Every single time

Only you can do that


I would give up everything,

fortunes and luxuries

If I had it, just to be with you


You held me up

When I fell down

You cleaned my tears


There's no one

I would rather spend the

Rest of my days with, only you…


I do apologize for my flaws

And imperfections

I will work on it


But for now

Let's show the world

We can survive the storms


This is why us

We are perfectly imperfect

I love you.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
