Simple Frustration

A start to a song about some of my observations of the world

57
Simple Frustration
Gwen Dowson

I am going to be honest

I see some problems, is it only me?

It can't be,

but it might just be

Are you all blind

Don't you feel a little confined?

Has suburbia been creating zombies

all this time?

There's a reason to the rhythm,

and you will find

An overpopulated earth has led to an unconscious mind

Were all weeds

With prayer beads

Watching primetime on

war crime while

moms sing racist nursery rhythms

Ok so you really think this world is just fine?

Check yourself

Step back and let's listen

I've got to tell you this life ain't fiction

Some mastered diction

Which lead to endless eviction

And racial friction

Suppressed stories labeled under historical nonfiction

Well yikes it sucks, but I have a prediction

Were all weeds

With prayer beads

Watching primetime on

war crime while

moms whisper racist nursery rhythms

A history riddled in crime

Ok so you really think this world is just fine?

Years will pass and fear will grow

From there the stress will start to show

Stress on the planet means stress on you and me

As the caps shift, the trash island will fill the sea

We'll reminisce to a time where we lived stress free

I'll say yup, were all fucked, its overpopulation baby

and ya, I think we'll keep on heating up, we'll see

But I guess most just want to sit back, let earth be

That simple truth is really quite sad to me

I'll try my luck, so here's my plea

Were all weeds

With prayer beads

Watching primetime on

war crime while

moms whisper racist nursery rhythms

A history riddled in crime

Ok so you really think this world is just fine?

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.
