Poetry On Odyssey: Festive Friday

When the start to the weekend feels like the end already.

Poetry On Odyssey: Festive Friday

End of the week, start of the fun

Start of relaxation, ‘til the stress returns Mon

Alarm wakes me up, I peep out the window, squint at the sun

And just tell myself to deal with it, this week’s done in one


Shower, shave, succumb to the sleeplessness

Pour cold water in my face and wonder what week this is

Got nothing major today, and can thankfully say

It should turn out to be a pretty smooth day


But I walk out the door, with the heat on my ass

Run in a packed bus like are these kids going to class?

No seat, standing, waiting to get out and walk to the train

Knowing damn well once I’m at the station, the waiting's the same


Fast forward, I’m late, say “I’m breaking the habit”

My boss stares, wondering if she should let me have it

Walks away, giving me a pass on a platter

Probably thinking “it doesn’t even matter”


I head to supervise staff, make a left then a right

Stop for a second and see something ain’t right

A kid, complaining to a staff about how he can do what he wants cause it’s his right

So I set him straight as the staff tells me he was “handling it” …right


Head back to the office and start doing work

Emails and such, while the AC doesn’t work

I melt away in my chair, trying not to go berserk

‘til I peep the time, and clock out with a smirk


Q66, F train and off to the gym

Work a sweat, walk out in the heat, Q38's here? Don't mind if I hop in

Head home and plan the night because, I need to have fun

No offense to my coworkers, but over there I have none


The night is set and I’m ready to go

Happy hour invite, I’m ready to show

Train did me right, by not going slow

Walk to the bouncer, whip out my wallet… NO


Forgot my ID, and I know they’re going to need it

I look young as hell, so people would wonder why they’re letting a teen in

I'm not gonna beg, if I can't get in, so be it

What a start and what an end, they’re all having fun in there, and Snapchat’s where I’ll see it

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
