I Am Me: My Version Of A Shakespeare Sonnet In 2016. Number I: I Am Me.

The longest title for the longest sonnet I will probably ever write in my life.

I Am Me: My Version Of A Shakespeare Sonnet In 2016. Number I: I Am Me.
Cj Williams

Shall we catch a movie of outrageous proportions?

Where characters blind us with their looks and pecs.

Explosions and sex is what we humans eat up.

So forget the art in movies and show me machine guns that are bigger than my hips.

Maybe we can skip the movie and move onto a house party?

Where people of multiple classes meet to go on a hallucinogenic journey.

Where we don't care who we meet but what we eat.

Where the drink can matter less, we want to be gone so we don't remember.

We want to wake up in the morning next to a stranger who we don't know but fell in love with.

Skip the party and head to a Mcdonalds.

The cheapest food for the cheapest bridals.

Shall I impress you or take the easy way out.

Maybe I'll consult my friends who've never left me alone without a doubt.

But my friends are disappearing, where have they gone?

Am I too blind to see that I'm all alone?

What is this curse that you've put on me?

When you leave then who will I be?

Will I be depressed and no longer have a life?

No. I refuse please bring me up to speed I have a long life that I need to see.

I will not linger and I will not pout, this is my life along with many others.

Let me see me in a moment of heat, under the sun where the grass touches my feet.

I am not Shakespeare, I am not Aristotle.

I am the simplest of all forms, I am me.

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.
