You Can

A poem to inspire you to just go for it

9
You Can

It’s interesting

The fact that my

Acquired learning

Only now comes into play

Why now


Before would have

Benefitted for my future

Gotten me to a higher place

But I guess it wasn’t meant

That way


I had to go through

The pain to get to the light

And even though

It’s still present

I know I’ll be okay


With grace and confidence

Look at me now

Standing tall over towers

Remember when I was weak?

I’m ready to run


I can take you down

With a single puff of air

Won’t let anyone in my path

Won’t stop till the end


I’m not exactly arrogant

Nor am I naïve

People think what they want

But I believe in myself


I strive to be great

And I become even better

I achieve every goal

I’ve ever tried to acquire


You can’t go to the top

Without starting at the bottom

My message is out

Hoping everyone gets me


Look yourself in the mirror

And be honest

You know you can do this

You just need to believe


You are strong and powerful

Graceful and intelligent

You just need a little push

So here it is, go for it

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.

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?
