"Tourists come and go, but they don't love Charleston like I do"

Poetry on Odyssey: Charleston
Megan Adair

The best city in the South, you'll never want to leave

Campus is in the middle of downtown, so much here to be achieved

The landscapes and architecture are beautiful

The history is what makes the city unusual

I love attending school here, but there is so much more here than a college

Endless boutiques and cafes to try, life is almost flawless

Time truly moves slower down here,

So sit on your porch and relax in your rocking chair

Three different beaches to choose from, but that's not even the best part

Each different colored house is like a masterpiece of art

Walking on rainbow row, an explosion of colors

Every day, there is something new to discover

Studying hard, after all I am here for school

But in my free time, I like to have adventures too

Sneaking into hotel pools with friends

In Charleston, the fun never ends

Tourists come and go, but they don't love Charleston like I do

Voted the number 1 city in the US, listen to the reviews!

After graduation, I want to live here forever

The charm and beauty cannot be measured

Pictures do not do it justice

I feel like i'm home, no need for a compass

I'm so happy to be back and for the school year to start

Each day, the city captures more of my heart

If you haven't been yet, then come on down

There's something truly special about the South

Thick southern accents fill the streets

All the locals are kind-hearted and sweet

Walking down King street, I have nothing to buy

But I still like to stroll and shop with my eyes

Walk to the waterfront park and see the pineapple fountain

The times I have done this is countless

Endless love for my beautiful home and city

The best place to study hospitality.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
