My Honest Poem
Christine Sainterlien

This poem doesn’t hold as much truth as it did when I first wrote it. Right now, I am working on different things, under a different mindset. Nonetheless, this is my honest poem, kids. Hope you enjoy it.

I’m a Sagittarius.
which means
I love to travel.
But I’ve noticed that traveling has made me feel like I never had a real home to begin with....I've become really good at making any place,
Or person
Feel like a safe space I can lay my head for a while.
I’m really good at remembering faces,
I’m working on being bad at that. People find it weird when you stare and don’t share what’s on your mind.
I get anxious when people know my name before I know theirs...I tend to think my acknowledgment is something I have to earn overtime.
I’ve kept my mind hidden for most of my life. Maybe because I’m the youngest of four and whenever I tried to talk I was considered annoying and a bore.
So, I listened more.
I don’t really like to talk.
but I love to write.
I consider these two things completely different. One is a choice, the other is a means of survival.
My favorite things to do should not be my favorite things to do. It includes distance, self-harm, and smiling at people that don’t smile back.
I’m starting to believe family is a 24/7 job with unlimited benefits.
I have spent too much of my time searching for part-time people that make me feel like I'm paying for their presence.
I have major trust issues...blame Drake.
Music is my favorite way to talk. I think it speaks volumes my own voice can never reach. I would love to take a walk with Amy Winehouse and learn how she talks.

Hi,

my name is Christine.


I think addiction and homelessness are some of the most humane experiences a person can go through.
...and I think love drives us all crazy.
You see, love,
Love has always been a foreign concept in my life. It takes too long to acquire citizenship and I’m over it before it even starts.

- Christine Saint

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
