An Ode To Merlot

You've got a friend in Merlot.

An Ode To Merlot
Bubbly Professor

I wake up on Sunday morning after a night of drinking far to much of you,

But that can't keep me away from your decedent taste,

I go about my day, thinking about you,

What shall I have for dinner that will finely compliment you?


Throughout the day I pray that I will be home soon,

So I can sit on my couch, watch Netflix, and drink Merlot,

There is no one else besides you,

I've cheated before on the occasional rosé,

But on a college budget, well you know, sometimes I cant help it,

Why must you be so amazing, dear Merlot?


Oh how I dread a night where I don’t have a glass,

Poured to the brim,

And when I don’t sit there and binge watch OITNB,

Its hard to have my day feel complete.


Your taste always wants me longing for more,

But in this day-and-age it's frowned upon if you drink a full bottle at once,

I know you would never judge me but it's not you, it's me,

I've done it once and I just cant do it again.


But without further a'do, my ode to you could be endless,

I'll do my best to stay faithful,

You are my one and only, dear friend,

I will see you again tomorrow after 5 p.m.,

Because, once again, it's most definitely frowned upon to bring merlot to the office.

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.
