Poetry On Odyssey: Falling For A Stranger

Having a crush can be such a funny thing.

We've all been there before. Head over heels falling for someone you see, wanting the opportunity but stuck in awe of their amazing beauty and perfection. Sometimes it feels like magic. Other times one would swear it was! This is a poem I wrote describing what would it feels like in that view.


The Way She Makes Me Feel

1:43 A.M.

Thursday morning

Up late

even with class hours away

I lay in bed

Constantly thinking about her

She circles my mind

More than the second hand on a clock

And as time passes

The seconds get slower

The ticks grow longer

It starts to feel like

Tick… Tick….. Tick…….

As it extends evermore

I used to hate mornings

But the thought I might get to see her?

It brings me to my feet faster than gravity could drop me itself

I used to hate having to go to class

But the excitement you hear

2 girls squealing at 8 A.M.

Even though they just saw "best friend" yesterday

That's how my heart feels whenever I see her

When I see her…

she walks differently from everybody else

Me, I just go through my day before class routine

Make sure my work is done

Check…

Respond to any last minute messages before the lectures begin

Check...

Open Snap to see her daily streaks message with her beautiful smile

Check?

I might replay it because I love the feeling I get seeing her photogenic beauty

Sometimes I pretend it says good morning

Just so I feel like she thinks about me as much as I do her

She's just...

So adventurous

She's...

Powerful yet humble

Intelligent yet elegant

It's funny

She makes me want to serenade her

"Isn't she lovely" by Stevie Wonder

As she walks down the street

I know the song is about babies

But sometimes I just feel like it'd be nice to call her mine

I guess you could say I'm hopelessly in love with her

But if I had to be honest…

I don't mind

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.
