10 Things I Dislike

In no particular order...

10. That girl who thinks "Just kidding" after making a maliciously rude (possibly true) comment makes everything okay. #$^&$, You better guess it. I'm on to you.

9. Sneezing a second after I just applied mascara.

8. Getting hit with that girl's umbrella and she doesn't say "Sorry."

7. Cats. Nuff said.

6. That group of people who stop in the busiest street to catch up with old friends. Find a corner people!

5. When that guy standing in Red Square has no sense of body language and still gives me a flyer even though he saw me gradually walk on the opposite side of where he was standing. Dang human spams!

4. "Whispering" girls behind me during lecture.

3. Having the option to chose between the stall with poop remnants, un-flushed toilet with blood all over, or a missing toilet seat.

2. Studying really hard for that one section and not have it show up on the test.

1. Asian girls smoking in a group. What a joke.

The Tide

I cast a shadow unto mine own image

Never realizing the implications of the things unfinished

A barricade I built to what once was my place to hide

Right on the shore to be washed by the tide

A royal blue flower on my box it sleeps

Silently at night I hear it weep

It longs for the wall to be filled again

With all the memories it held before came the rain

I can't control the rain, when it comes and when it goes

But when it comes, time surely slows

I will knock, but don't open the door

You will see I am drenched with things not pure

The window is clear enough for you to see

The difference between that girl you knew and the present me

The sun rose, a hopeful promise to erase away

But I awoke in the morning with a scream

Disappointed when I realized none of it was a dream

Natalie Tran

You may know her from her famous Youtube channel "Community Channel." Her humor is similar to mine and I can't get enough of it. In this point of my life, I may or may not have seen the 200+ videos that she's uploaded. She's simply irresistible.

Yiruma

This New-age Pop composer steals my heart. "Kiss the Rain" is one that makes my heart glow and expand at the same time. I listen to all his songs while trying to focus on writing essays or just read, period. He helps me get through the stress of college life and for that I am most appreciative.

Question

My heart awoke in sadness on the sun's homecoming to Seattle. Reason is yet unknown. Instead of my routine clicking of "Feel like dancing" station while putting my make-up on, my fingers chose "Sing it Out" instead (which contains slow, sad songs for the most part). It carried on throughout the day even as I listened to "Pockets Full of Sunshine" by Natasha Beddingfield while walking down the Ave. Curious and quite disturbing, I felt urges to break down and cry. ? WTF.

Why are you so sad, heart?
