Poetry On Odyssey: High School

This is just a little word of advice for the kids.

Either you’re a cool kid or a fucking dweeb

If you’re not drinking, you’re smoking weed

If you do neither, you're probably getting A’s and B’s

While your friends look less like 8’s and 9’s and more like, 2’s and 3’s


Now obviously this isn’t an accurate depiction

But when you’re that age, you might feel like you’re in that position

Caring more about babes than grades, changing your disposition

Being the popular kid becomes the primary mission


Acne, braces, glasses, you look like a fool

Become a jock and pick on kids, now you're a tool

So you focus on the negative and say ‘fuck you’ to school

Now your social life’s a little better, but your GPA’s turned to stool


You got mad friends? Good for you

You just got in trouble? Who stood for you?

Meet a few kids but befriend them? Nah, that’s something you couldn’t do

Off to the kool kids klub where they act like they’re too ‘good for you’


Spelled it with 3 Ks cause often times they shun ‘em all

Burning different ideas cause their word's the only writing on the wall

Fuck ‘em, if they treat you shitty, you shouldn’t care to even greet ‘em at the mall

Cause being different when everyone’s doing the same shit is what actually takes some balls


Focus on improving, don’t look at it as lame

Cause lame is spending 4 years in an institution and staying the same

You like English? Keep reading

Into numbers? Math blaster those exams like it’s a game

Just cause you’re good at ball and on a team it don’t make you LeBron James


Grind in the present, so you can relax in the future

Don’t become a dummy and make mommy pay for a tutor

Stop fighting for world star and talking shit to seem cooler

Both of those are only quick ways to get you some sutures


Read between the lines, and calculate your moves

You may not be a dancer but everybody finds their groove

You might start off digging hip hop, then have that Rawr XD phase

All that matters is when you do change, it puts you in a better place

If you dig someone, just be self aware of your detrimental ways

Don’t hesitate, cause the result may feel like a slap in the face


A little word of advice for the gullible folk guarded by their moms

If you’re on the computer, don’t listen to kids telling you to go on redtube.com

It ain’t relevant to YouTube and you’re going to look dumb

I’ve seen a kid do it once and they had to call his mom


Be confident, calm, cool and collected

You may slip up and probably get rejected

But you do you and you’ll find yourself get respected

Keep the eyes on the prize, your words and thoughts connected


Don’t make it a low point, it’s called high school, duh

It’s cliché, but try your best, don’t be that tight fool, bruh

If you're slacking, stay mad till you do better in class

Cause you can pay for school, but you can’t buy that

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.

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.
