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

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
