You Owe Me: A Poem

"You owe me," your voice sent shivers down my spine.

You Owe Me: A Poem

I was staring at the flowery bedsheets laying flat on the bed.

The flowers so symbolic and kept,

Allowed me to think about my innocence before you.

When I didn't have a clue of what you were going to do.


Your hands couldn't stay near your body.

Your touch made me feel like I was nobody.

Because if you really respected my body

You would wait until I was actually ready.


"You owe me," your voice sent shivers down my spine.

Yet you still insisted that you were mine.

But you took the pedals of my flower so quickly

I couldn't even take them back or put them by my side.


You left me alone, feeling like I was used.

My bruises were not seen, yet I could feel like they were black and blue

I could still feel the places you had touched without my permission,

My skin quivering with no such satisfaction or enjoyment.


I felt gross, but I felt like I couldn't tell anybody.

For fear that no one could truly understand.

That I was violated by someone that I thought really cared.

But the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't bear.


The realization that you didn't care about how I felt.

Only the sensation that you got from touching my body that made you feel like a king.

I was ruined by you and your selfishness.

Because you had took the part of me that I had actually loved.

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.
