The Current

A poem

The Current

Years gone by,

with a silent hope, a silent cry

Chasing the fairytale that went awry

Tears washed up and dried along the shore

Rattling me to my core

Enough is enough

Like finding a golf ball in the rough

Tirelessly looking, tirelessly wanting

Vowing to cherish my peace and accept what was

I decided there would be no end

To my loneliness I called my friend

Life is a mystery and love is no different

The way it hits you like a current

Hard to see and hard to judge

Dare I move, dare I budge?


You quickly became that current

One I couldn't see and one I couldn't stop

Hopelessly falling

swimming frantically back to the top

It was a twist of the fates

And before I knew it, it was too late

Swept away

It all felt too good to be true

But I couldn't deny, it felt different talking to you

Now I am somewhere lost at sea

and though it sounds scary, there is no place I'd rather be

How did I get here?

I was finally content alone

But thats when the current finds you

and you forget what you have known

I could try and deny what I feel is real

But that is just not the case

This is the real deal

Away at sea, it's just you and me

the current that took me, fully for me

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
