Students, Professors: We Want Your Best #College...

You’re either my friend, someone I have no interest in speaking with, or someone I want to write about.

I read half of the shit that shows up on my dash and I think, that would make a pretty good story. But instead it shows up as half a story, with awkward line breaks, and people call it poetry.

I use to write poetry. I’m not sure what compelled me to structure my lines in verses and space them according to “how I thought they should be read.” And to be quite honest, I didn’t care how I was read just so long as I was read at all. There was a shift in my virtual-journal presence. (I never…

I keep having dreams where I forget things. An assignment will be left in the printer at home, gifts that were supposed to be purchased don’t get bought, and I always seem to be running late. My grandmother on my father’s side had Alzheimer’s and although the disease is rare for youth to develop, I worry that my dreams will become déjà vu that I won’t remember.
