Poetry: Dance With The Devil

When good and evil collide

The sunlight diminishes and the flowers

Fall into a great slumber as he approaches.

This once vibrant field suddenly looks

Nothing more than an abandoned parking lot.

Do not let this fool you.


What you think you know is not true.

The devil is not a red creature with red horns.

He has taken a human form.

The devil is a handsome man with piecing blue eyes.

He is beautiful.

He walks among the mortals,

Looking for his next victim.


He stumbled upon me on a cold winter's night.

I was like no one he has ever seen before.

Pain resides deep inside my soul.

This is enough to darken anyone's heart,

And yet,

My heart consists of pure light.


"I must convert this girl", he says.

He claims that I am meant to be one of them.

The devil wants me to be his queen.

He says that he can help me release my inhibitions,

And satisfy my lustful desires.


"I can help you feel no more pain", he says.

His sultry hand brushes my golden brown hair.

His touch radiates throughout my body,

I feel like I have a sixth sense.

I have never felt anything this powerful.


I want to dance with the devil.

He tempts his victims by promising to erase their distress.

A lifetime free of suffering is something I have always dreamed of,

But beams of golden light suddenly free me from my trance.

He can no longer entice me.

He cannot have me.

This is not my destiny.

I am the light.

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.
