Poetry On Odyssey: 43 Minutes

43 minutes

And submission must take place.

42 minutes

41

Now 40

Counting down until midnight

Until the next day

Next week

Next month

Next year

What are you counting for

For a due date

A better tomorrow?

A time of less stress

Or freedom

Relaxation.

Count more quickly

And time will tick more slowly.

Wish for more time

And time will tick more quickly.

39 minutes.

There was once a time

Where boredom was felt

Dullness, monotony

What would I give

To feel it again.

What would I give

To relive time

A time where we were free

A time where we could do anything

Yet chose to do nothing

Yet lounged and lazed.

37 minutes.

In childhood we had forever.

33 minutes.

Could I have done more

Would I have done more

Had I known.

26 minutes.

So much to do

So little time

I want to go back

To a littler time.

17 minutes.

With less that needed to be done

No responsibility

No expectations.

11 minutes.

Will tomorrow

Be any better

Or the week after

Or the month

The year?

4 minutes.

Push past

1 more.

3 minutes.

But past this hill

Is another.

A cycle.

2 minutes.

I'm caught.

I need help

We're all caught.

1 minute.

The end

Peace

Relaxation

Where is it?

Why

Can't I find it?

30 seconds.

Is it

Even out there?

20 seconds.

10.

And now I must submit

Must turn in

9 seconds.

The worst poem

8 seconds.

That I have probably written in my entire life.

7 seconds.

And I've written some pretty sh*t poems.

6 seconds.

Honestly, though.

5 seconds.

I need to learn

4 seconds.

How to better manage

3 seconds.

My Odyssey

2 seconds.

Deadlines.

1 second

0.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
