A Political Poem

Drowning in boredom,

And thirsty for exhilaration,

Is how this adventure begins.


A light bulb illuminates

Inside a young girl’s mind

When she sees the White House

On the horizon.


Longing to explore

This grandiose home,

She decides to sneak in

Through a carelessly cracked window.


She’s so short,

In fact she hasn’t got any legs,

So she slithers across the shiny floors,

Evading the line of sight of the tall men dressed in black.


Gazing in sheer admiration

Of the beautiful interior,

She decides this is the home for her,

And whoever is here already has got to go.


She slithers through a door left ajar,

Silent, sneaking, and out of sight.


She sees a man, sitting at a desk towering above her.

The man who called this place his home.


He is the one who must be gone.


He didn’t look like the type

to appreciate the beauty

That graces the spaces of this mansion anyways.


He probably wouldn’t miss it when he’s gone.


“What’s the easiest way to do this?”

She ponders. For she cannot speak English,

And since he won’t understand her,

Using smooth talk to make him leave won’t work.


Taking note of her assets,

Her teeth, venom, and strikingly beautiful,

Mesmerizing eyes


She realizes


What she must do.


She slithers through the shadows of the room,

Around the back of his desk

Where he sits in his regal chair.


She slithers up the back of the chair,

To get on the man’s level,

Sinks her fangs into his neck, and injects

The deadly venom she got from her mother’s side.


After he collapsed to the floor,

She waited in the pitch black corner,

For people to take the dead man’s body

Out of her house.


Once they did,

This magnificent palace was officially hers.


She slid into the newly vacant, regal chair.

The luxurious leather felt

Like tiny angels caressing her body

With the gentleness of swan doves.


“What a great day!” She said with a sigh.

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.

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.
