Poem To Poop To

Walking no pushing my body, thick thighs and brown

eyes to swing from coral hand-hold to the long tree,

I breathe and catch the fish circling.

like fall leaves and I know that they will leave,

if I believe that the sunshine keeps evil away,

but how is that true when sunlight is where most evil is portrayed

from killer cops to killed cops

to starving people being ignored on the street.

what's left for us to see that is not already being covered,

covered up by the police and tv, so I sink down to let go and swim

but water begins to boil, fins, and bubbles, and ID’s being pulled out of pockets

putting fear into the eyes of blue souls and iterators,

but once I begin to speak my mind say the truth that I see and make it fine,

the water and current begin to rise and I am, no we are

pulled under by the gloved hand of the blind system pulling us deeper why,

our air grows older and arms grow weaker the moments begin to draw to an end

what would superman do If he saw us drowning being drowned brought to justice

probably not much cause was not his demographic with no long blond hair and a short white dress

so I make the choice to just breathe in to give into the hand that's been pulling, pulling us deeper to consequences that were held over our head since we had one and but this is all hypothetical talk of things that could never exist in a fair world. Right?

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
