Poetry On Odyssey: A Waiting Heart

"Someone to be her one and only."

The woman sits on her favorite park bench in a daze

As she looks at the cloudy sky in a gaze

Then she notices a couple holding hands

And she wants to know "Why can't I have that?"; she doesn't understand

Then the couple give one another a kiss

As they enjoy their walk in the park in pure bliss

The woman has a flash back of one of her horrible dates

And concludes that loneliness may be her fate

She is only in her twenties so she has time ahead

Why is she rushing dating, does she need to wed?

She then ponders about what love could be

If only she had a lover to hold and see

Her last couple dates didn't go so well

And her three ex-boyfriends weren't so swell

The dating apps she uses don't take her too far

She either gets ghosted or left at a bar

She swipes left and right for her perfect match

But they all seem too dull for her and not a good catch

She deletes the apps in a frustrated mood

It doesn't look like her prince charming will be appearing any time soon

She starts to walk home to get some rest

Hoping she wakes up better as she is facing some stress

She tries to sleep but she starts to cry

As she starts to feel lonely and wonders if she should still try

"Will I find myself a mate?" she asks in her head

After tear droplets falling she finally falls asleep in bed

She gets up in the morning to get ready for the day

Grabs her usual Starbucks and goes to work to make some pay

Her day, however, does not start off as good as she hoped

As she trips on the sidewalk with the coffee all over her coat

She puts down her purse right next to her on the ground

Someone snatches her bag quickly with very little sound

She yells for help as the man runs a far as she is too slow

He was able to get away with her things, and now she feels low

All are left are her books with her keys in her hand

She goes in her car and cries, trying to understand

She calls out of work while she sits in her car to cry

And doesn't feel like moving as she just doesn't want to try

As she is about to leave to go to the cops for help

Someone knocks on her window after giving her a yelp

She is hesitant to open as she doesn't know the man

But before she drives away he shows the purse in his hand

She opens up the window in a shock with her mouth open very large

As the man says "I got your purse back, I showed him who was in charge."

"I saw him take your purse and tackled him to the ground"

"The police arrested him as well, so don't worry, you are safe and sound."

She gets out of her car to thank the man that was brave and strong

Who was also good-looking and friendly overall

Fast forward three years, the man and woman married on the beach with the sunset

After he proposed to the woman, on the sidewalk outside her car where they met

Fast forward another year with a baby girl in their arms

Her husband says "I love you with all my heart, your beauty and charm"

He continues to say "You're my love and partner forever."

And he adds "I'm glad that crook brought us together."

Lastly, he asks "Are you happy my love?"

As she says "I am glad I waited, you are my everything and above."

"What do you mean "waited?"" He asks confused with a curious mind

She says "I always wanted to rush love, but I am glad I waited because you are one of a kind."

He smiles at her and then they head off to bed with affection

Giving goodnight kisses while saying "I'll love you forever," showing their lovable connection

The woman lays thinking with a smile while looking at her sleeping husband too

Then looks out the window to the sky and says "Thank you."

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.

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.
