Welcome to College
posted September 2, 2009 - 6:29pmThe following is an original poem, inspired by my new experiences with college life. Do not be mistaken, the poem does not depict the college experience, but a college experience. The poem reflects the anxiety, confusion, interaction, and enlightenment that I’ve experienced in such a short span of time. It really focuses on all the positive aspects college has to offer. Perhaps I have a biased perspective though, because I have yet to find any negative aspects on my campus. And for reasons of confidentiality, I will not be revealing the name of the university I am attending. In regards to the poem’s syntax: it consists of 20 lines of 10 stanzas of 10 sets of couplets in order to extend the lightheartedness and ebullience I feel in connection to my college experience thus far. Enjoy :)

Where am I going? And what should I do?
keeping up will require caffeine
everyone’s greeted respectively
of regions, and states, and countries: a lot
Friendships seem to form so fast,
every moment, made to last
the talks we share: emotionally deep
Four years ago, so unknowing,
now our thoughts just keep on flowing
no one expected the positive impact
Faster, faster, world is spinning,
change is coming, new beginnings
Welcome I guess, to college life.
