Poetry On Odyssey: What Do I Remember?

I misremember going to San Diego comic con. My sister and I only made it to one panel about drawing comics.

I misremember getting to meet Shin Lim and Colin Cloud in Vegas. They gave my sister the confidence in her art that she sorely needed.

I misremember meeting my best friend one of my first years playing softball. We've been friends for 13 years now.

I misremember my 3rd plane ride. It's the first time that I can actually remember.

I misremember my dog. The feel of her fur on my face when I clung to her as a child.

I misremember when we had a tank full of fish. One of them turned cannibal and ate every single fish before jumping out of the tank.

I misremember my first cat. He hated everyone but my dad and then he had a heart attack while we were on our first cruise.

I misremember when we got our second cat. She was given to us by one of my friends in 7th grade. She's almost 8 years old now.

I misremember my first day of college orientation. I didn't talk much to the people in my group, but no one seemed to want to talk to me anyway.

I misremember my first time watching It. My heart never raced when faced with a clown after somehow.

I misremember playing Jackbox with my friends. We always ended up with lots of funny inside jokes.

I misremember the first thing I wrote that I was truly proud of. It was a class assignment to write a realistic piece of a day in the life of a bird. I wrote about a Northern White-Faced Scops Owl.

I misremember the first time I laid awake all night on the verge of a panic attack. It happens when I start to think about my future.

I misremember the last time I went to Disney World. It was a trip with my high school band and we marched in a parade at the Magic Kingdom. Many band members had to get treated for heat stroke that day.

I misremember watching Stranger Things with my sister. We both decided that the show was amazing, but we hated Mike and Eleven as a couple.

I misremember when I decided to be a creative writing major. My dad told me to be an engineer instead.

I misremember deciding to minor in Simulation, Animation, and gaming. My dad told me to be an engineer instead.

I misremember deciding to double minor in Apparel, Textiles, and Merchandising. My dad told me to be an engineer instead.

I misremember when I graduated. I didn't start crying until I saw my sister crying.

I misremember my Cinderella-themed birthday party. Back then I had hope that I would have a happy ending.

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.

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.
