Poetry On Odyssey: Yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy thing to play.

Yesterday, the sun shone on us just like it used to.

Clouds warmed the sky as the breeze lightly cooled us down.

The sun's beams illuminating the paths that we've yet to choose.

Our options weighing in on us.

Choose. The world seems to whisper to us.

Choose, Choose.

So many options. So little time. A phrase that's never truly understood until it's too late.

Yesterday the world seemed brighter, almost

As we played on the street instead of our technology.

Us growing up was nothing but a thought floating far from our distance;

I guess that's the thing about growing up without a care in the world though; it's really hard to see everything move around

So instead, we laugh, play and dream.

We dream and dream until we can't anymore; until we realize that growing up is nothing like we thought it would be.

Yesterday, I promised myself everything would be okay.

I had a big dream that nobody else could fathom despite all the doubt that sparked all around me.

Yesterday, we were sane.

As we reminded ourselves that love was such an easy thing to play.

We enjoyed life to the fullest, but today just seems to cave in

Reminding us of all the love and heartbreak we still have yet to learn and feel.

Reminding us that we're still too young to truly understand how the world exactly works.

Yesterday, we were all better as the sun went down and the horizon met with our eyes.

Yesterday just seems like a better time to reminisce, to remember and embrace all the hardships we've had.

Tomorrow though, tomorrow brings new things.

New choices, new paths, new memories.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
