Loving Simply, Like a Child

New Cherubino

How good it is to find myself

In love with everyone

And revel as a lover should

In everything that’s done

How great it is to not despair

But enjoy what’s lost and won

No pain and sorrow do we share

Refreshing tears on anon

Hope in love is but forgiveness

A hand clasped when we stumbled

The grudge brushed off in peacefulness

With kindness anger humbled

Love is giving without taking

Generosity in full

It is doing without breaking

It’s catching when one might fall

Love is a good and joyful thing

Sunshine bright among the rain

It’s a life more than a feeling

Unadorned, simple, Beauty Plain

This Poem is inspired by the ideals of love put forth by the youthful character Cherubino in Mozart's Opera The Marriage of Figaro. Here, instead of a hormonal teenager, Love is embodied by all of the good things one looks for, going beyond lust and confused feelings to a good place, where the simplicity of Love makes it all the greater.

Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!

Lorelai Gilmore and I are kindred spirits.

Tulane University

When I was in high school, I was the occasional coffee drinker, if you could call it that. I would drink Starbucks frappuccinos and iced mocha drinks, which were more like snacks than coffee, BUT they had coffee in them, so I said I drank coffee. I progressed from my love of “snack drinks" to a more general appreciation of coffee, and would have a cup of coffee once a week or so. My “cup of coffee" would consist of a little coffee and a lot of cream and sugar, but it was coffee nonetheless. Then I started college.

Student Life

Heading Home For The Summer

Why go somewhere fun when you can go home?

Northern Michigan University

Well, this school year has come to a close, and it's off to having fun in the sun. For college students, summer offers a few different options: get an internship somewhere AMAZING like NYC, India or somewhere else awesome, travel, stay in your college town or go home for the summer. Whatever the reasoning, many people do end up going home and living with their parents during the summer. Many things are different when you go home for the summer. After almost a whole year being an adult, it's time to return to your parent's home and follow rules that you threw to the wind the second you stepped on campus last fall. And you get to see all your old friends, the ones who came home anyway. You'll also see people you haven't talked to since you graduated that you were really okay with never seeing again. If you are going home for the summer, here are some things that will happen to you.

Airports

Because the best part of flying isn't the flying.

I’m not sure that many would consider their airport experience to be “fun.” It is either boredom or panic, layovers so long that you forget what the outside world looks like or connections that are made by the skin of your teeth. It is the decision between buying expensive food and starving; it is hunting for outlets (because the airports I’ve been in seem to have about five); it is the stress of making it through security without being that person who holds up everyone else. In short, it is stressful and time-consuming.

Why go somewhere fun when you can go home?

Your parents will be so happy you're home that they will make your favorite meal.

Then they'll give you a list of chores they've been saving for you since you left last fall.

And say goodbye to sleeping in.

Being home means seeing the ENTIRE family.

Luckily you'll be able to see all your old friends.

And the people you didn't want to see, who you will hide from in the grocery store.

But then you'll find out all of your at-home friends also have college friends.

If you have younger siblings, you now have the job of being a chauffeur.

But you'll still have to get a real job.

When all you really want to do is spend time doing nothing, maybe nap.

Fourth of July will come, but you're underage and at home, so you are painfully sober.

You friends from college are all off having grand adventures in Cali or Disney World while you try to keep your jealousy in check.

Even though you're jealous you still miss them.

And although it's not the summer of your dreams, at least there's no homework.

Until school starts again.

You will only understand these if you have a big rear end.

1. Your butt runs into everything.

2. You have mastered knocking things down.

3. Finding jeans that fit is a nightmare.

4. You wear out jeans fast.

5. You can't sit in small seats.

6. You can rock lingerie.

7. Twerking comes almost naturally.

8. Sometimes you don't realize you're sitting on something.

9. You push people out of the way easier.

10. Booty shorts are your go to.

11. Shopping for leggings can be rough, too.

12. You're set on cushions.

13. Short dresses are always a problem.

14. Your booty is always getting comments.

Because the best part of flying isn't the flying.
