Poetry On Odyssey: I Have No Idea What To Write About

The title is pretty self-explanatory, I truly have no ideas this week. Writing is tough and churning out ideas is just another thought on my mind throughout the week. Come to think, I have never dived into poetry. Mainly because my high school teacher told me in her own words, dude you ain't good. But, through the years I thought I would try again and journey into new territory with some free form. Literally, just random thoughts I have and hopefully, you will find something out about me if you care at all.

I Have No Idea What To Write About

I have no idea what to write about

Why do I have no ideas?

The small hamster wheel in my head has stopped spinning.

Keep checking my Snapchat

I wonder if that girl will snap me back?

Been on read for 5 hours, so looks like a no.

I keep twirling my fingers through the curls in my hair

I really need to get that fresh cut

My laziness prevents that, so looks like a no to that too.

I'm so broke it's sad

Down to that last 25 dollars

Yet I still agreed to go out for a drink tonight.

Even now I'm still thinking

No ideas are popping up

So, I'll just litter this page with more.

Really wish she would snap me back

I should probably ask her for her actual number

That's just weird these days, so again no.

I promised some people I would write about them

I totally flaked on that one

Sorry those people i promised it will happen someday.

It's so cold in this room

My feet are practically frozen

But, I really need to finish this poem or whatever this is.

I also forget how long poems are supposed to be

I'd look in that handbook

But, I can't remember where that is either.

Ok, back to that girl for the last time

We've talked and I feel as though we click

Maybe it's just me, so i'll double text just to make sure.

Is anyone honestly going to read this?

Someone will feel bad and give me a view or two

To that person who will, thank you.

The idea wheel is starting to go now

I'm already to far deep into this poem

Might as well try and finish up.

Poetry is supposed to be freeing and calming

Yet, I don't feel either right now

Maybe if she would snap me back I would.

Alright one last and final time

Leaving me on read for 5 hours?

Ok, I'm done now.

I have no idea what to write about

I hope you all figured that out

Possibly next week I will brainstorm harder.

After that drink tonight the ideas will come through

But, I would've already turned this is in

I'll let you know how that drink goes.

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.

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?

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.
