Poetry On Odyssey: Wandering Minds And Withering Souls

Wondering mind, thumping heart, I grow tired of this mental grind. Strolling, stumbling, crawling, weary of folly and failure. The wolves of Yin and Yang collide rippling rippling rippling, forming waves of hysteria. From one grows to two, from two to ten, ten drops to two and back again. Why ignore that there are ever more? Why contemplate further while in the midst of this state?

The juices of abstraction flow beautifully upon chariots from orbs of the night to morn. The beauty that streams far beyond while under the world’s weight, though cognition hefty and bright fails to act while under the light.

Thus dousing those flames with ice and dismay that forever and ever pry away. Though beneath the frost a twinge of fright, rolling on under the formidable night; though as it rolls on there bequeaths a cinder; scarlet and brown. Ah, this cinder, a sparkle of lights, far outclassing those fearful nights.

A sound of uproar quaking ol’ Gaea a hero of secrets, of virtue and right, broke through the clouds and stormed through the night. “Tis is I sir, Marius of Elysium,” pondering of sweet glory and will, scrapping and scratching at me she is still.

With a sword of quill and words made of liquid so clear, I challenge thy labors to a battle of bets. Within our contest, we toss and we turn, hoping for advancement, but all that's affected is my aigrette

Before we end I solemnly swear, I will fight and bleed to my last breath and, though you with your ever spawning heads; I will be victorious and yell, “I am Invictus!"

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
