Dreams: A Memoir From 6th Grade.

I come from my most deep and painful sorrow,

I hope that we will speak again tomorrow.

I would love to be forever friends,

But I hope and I pray, this relationship will not come to a painful end.

When the yellow bright sun sets, and the moon travels up,

You will appear in my deep dreams for the best of luck.

When I look into those eyes, those gray stone eyes,

It is like a powerful wave of the blue ocean and the salty sea,

And I feel the overwhelming sensation of someone watching over me.

You are filled with concrete and despair,

But you my dear, cannot care.

For I am close, here,

I am near.

When you hear my echoing call,

You cannot just simply fall into that whole of nothing.

You made my body shiver, shake in pain,

Then all of my blood was pushed into the top of my brain.

For it was over, there was nothing to say anymore-

So I closed shut the heaviest of a door.

I am standing here, right in front of you, can you not see?

I am not the good that is living inside of me.

I love you, please do not let your brain ever forget-

Can I ever prevent what is coming next?

I am not here, the presence is not me, can’t you see?

Then where are you?

I am in the green valley, the valley we walked miles to, with the earth in our hands-

And you will soon see me one day again in these wide lands,

So I cry softly, painfully by your grave stone,

And I speak in the softest of a tone-

You were the heaven for me, way, way above-

And all I ever wanted to do was simply shower you with my love.

Goodbye my dear,

Wipe your tears and your eyes clear,

I am no longer here.

So I sit,

I sit alongside the pier right here,

Hoping one day you will reappear.


Love always,

Mel.

15 Times "Parks and Recreation" Summed Up Your Library Experience

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. 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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
