Poetry On Odyssey: My Blue

I have a secret, and only through these six poems will I reveal it.

1.

11 days have felt like months by your side

Since my soul constantly feels electrified

By you and your blue eyes.

During our endless conversations

And quiet stare's,

My heart opens widely for you,

And only thoughts of you linger through my mind.

As days and nights go by,

I am eager to see how our relationship unfolds

And what the future holds.

As time passes by,

And I sit by your side,

I feel as though our souls intertwine.

Even though we come from different roots,

Our paths crossing was no coincidence,

Because my heart is finally beginning to feel complete.

2.

Thoughts of you warm my heart

my stomach fills with butterflies

my mind lingers beyond its space

grateful that our paths crossed

lucky for your patience

always listening to your opinions

eager to learn from your perspectives

feeling secure just by the way our lips meet

the sense of loneliness has gone away

hopeful to change the world with you

and fulfill all of our dreams

side by side I pray that we be

for these past sixty days

shared with memories of you

are the happiest I've ever been...

3.

It's crazy how much time we spend together

But my heart can never get enough

Every second spent apart

My chest feels overwhelmed

I look at the moon

And the sky above

And think about the time that is spinning past us

My cheeks fluster

My eyes water

For unexplainable and unfamiliar reasons

All I know and want is you.

4.

Roots tall, and green

Trunk strong

A human being tree filled with

such natural loving energy

Never selfish

always generous

Only the lucky ones get the chance

to encounter his soul within.

5.

All of my life, I've been in love with trees.

Not only because I can climb on them whenever I need,

or cling onto them in hopes of feeling free-

but because I've always felt that when I sat under the tree,

my soul intertwined with its roots,

making me feel safe and secure.

Its branches grew leaves that would give me shade and

cover over me-

like an umbrella, but strongly protecting me.

Its strong trunk holds me together when I am feeling my worst,

the leaves never abandon me, for they are constantly surrounding me,

the branches are never too tall or inaccessible for me to climb,

and the flowers grow- even on the rainiest days.

Thank you for being my tree.

6.

The blood in my heart has always crashed like ocean waves

because to me the relationships in the past

were only ever unsatisfactory or mentally abusive

but now with you in my life- even though it may be too soon to tell-

everything is calming down the blood in my veins.

The salt is finally sweetening up,

the scars are almost vanishing,

my soul is finally mending,

the thoughts in my mind are somewhat settling,

and the love for myself is continuously growing.

Feeling like myself while attached to someone else,

has never felt achievable until our paths crossed.

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.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
