Poetry On Odyssey: Dear Covid-19

Dear Covid-19, we're all stronger than you think.

Dear Covid-19,

All you seem to be aware of is boredom and isolation

But, behind closed doors, there's more you cannot see

Prom dresses thrown out, hard work becomes a slap in the face, and all you see is irritation?

And there is no remorse for anyone? How about the NWCC?

Dear Covid-19,

Workers: The people who work non-stop shifts only to have passion driving them until the end

The people who have to stay humble knowing there are other countries going through the same time

To believe it isn't surreal or frightening has workers having to pretend

Just to come home worried that they spread it or already did at anytime

Dear Covid-19,

You may be winning at one thing: sadistic comedy

People walk past the "wear masks" and "stay home" signs as if they see this as a joke

Oh how wrong they are

Covid, your humor is not making anyone laugh no matter how much you poke

Dear Everybody,

To the kids with an unstable household and guidance: you will get through this and your captivity

To the next graduating classes: keep your head up because if no one does, we're only fused with negativity

To the parents: keep it together and think about what truly matters now

To the careless: relationships may break but the pandemic won't care like you do when you're with each other

To everyone else: This is the one time we can only get through this if we don't stick together


Stay safe, wash your hands, and social distance. Please take this seriously and keep in mind all the workers who are working non stop and doing their part. Please do your part as well.

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.
