8 Back-To-School Haikus From The Girl Who Isn't Ready To Go Back

My sleep habits suck, might have to nap on campus, no one will judge me.

Every student chooses a different way to express their "back to school" thoughts. This semester I've decided to add some angsty poetry to my usual routine of complaining about school to my friends.

And now I present to you some mediocre haikus:

1. Brand new school supplies,

Why is this so expensive?

Erasers smell good.

Erasers smell awful, aren't I a great poet?

2. Why is it still hot?

Get it together Georgia,

School equals autumn.


Guess I can't wear leggings until November (sigh). It doesn't help that the classrooms are as freezing as Antarctica.

3. My sleep habits suck,

Might have to nap on campus,

No one will judge me.


Scratch that, will DEFINITELY have to nap on campus. I call dibs on the swinging chair in the shade.

4. Rate My Professor

Is much better than Google,

It saves GPA’s.

And who needs their GPA saved? That's right, all of us who are trying to keep our damn scholarships, that's who.

5. Where is my planner?

I should be more organized,

I can manage, right?

Maybe I'll just put everything in my phone and that'll help. Maybe I'll buy another cute planner from Target. Maybe not.

6. At least it’s easy at first,

Syllabus week should be chill,

Too bad it’s dull.

A moment of silence for the professors who barely even acknowledge a "syllabus day" and dive right in.

7. Maybe I’m dreaming,

It can’t be time for school yet,

Please summer come back.

Summer 2K17, you were great while you lasted.

8. Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope

Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope

Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope.

That's all I've got, folks.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
