I Wish

A poem on the perfection on social media.

I Wish
Walls Come Tumbling Down

I wish I was the girl who only had fun;

Never crying,

Always smiling,

She always knows which candidate is the right one.


She always looks pretty;

Never a bad picture,

Never a bad angle,

Living it up from city to city.


She is cool with all her friends

Always on point,

Always up-to-date,

She always dresses with the latest trends.


She always has the right jokes

Never a silence,

Always a punch line,

Bringing laughter to all the folks.


This girl is not real,

Yet she is me.

The question is,

How can that be?


This is me on my Facebook,

Instagram,

Pinterest,

Twitter,

And more.

That girl seems perfect,

But she is not really sure.

She lives an amazing life on the Internet,

Whilst sitting on her bedroom floor.


I wish I was as put together as the girl on Facebook,

And as pretty as the one on Instagram.

I wish I was as trendy as the girl on Pinterest,

And as funny as the one on Twitter.


But I am not.

I use filters on my selfies,

And filters for my jokes.

It may seem effortless, but I think about it a lot.


Don’t trust what you read,

And don’t trust what you see.

Because she is really quite average;

Just take it from me.

People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

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.

pale girl

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.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
