Poetry On Odyssey: You Are Dust

The world will keep you down, but you are made for so much more.

"Dust you are
And Dust you will return."
They look down on you.
You look down on you.
Words meant to keep you down below.
You are Dust.
You are nothing.

You are under their feet
And on their walls
Covering their bookshelves and
Filling their lungs like a plague.
You are Dust.
You are hated.

You are that which is
Always, whether wanted or not. That which will be.
That which was.
All things fall to Dust, no matter how pure.
All things become Dust, wanted or not.

"Dust you are
And Dust you will return."
They look up to you, and why
Not? Who said Dust was not of the heavens?
You are proud.
You are celestial.

You are always- who cares if they want you.
You were once, and still go on.
You are. You are beautiful,
Watching all, all look up
To you. Cast their wishes upon you.

You are Stardust, pure and shining.
You are perfect- eternally so.

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.
