Poem of the Week: Summertime Sadness

An original poem by Sophie Orlich

The summer sun,

Has been lots of fun,

But I’m not ready to beat,

The crazy Texas heat!

I’ve had lots of time to scrapbook,

And even some time to cook!

It seems like there’s always something more to do,

With fall approaching its true.

But all I want is for a little more time,

To lay by the pool and drink some wine!

XOXO

Poem of the Week: the Epitome of Junior Year

an original poem

by Sophie Orlich

Tonights nightly events,

if the time permits,  

include a fraternity semi-formal, 

but instead of planning like normal, 

I've taken the laid-back route, 

that junior year salutes- 

When I woke up in my bed, 

I ran this checklist through my head:

Do I have a date?

No.

Do I have a wristband?

No.

Do I have a dress?

No. 

Do I know have shoes?

No. 

What about my hair?

No.

My make-up?

No.

Wine?

Yes.

And then I went back to bed.

XOXO

Dear Diary, the First Week of Being T-Shirt Chair, a poem

An original poem by Sophie Orlich

The first week of classes,

Might move like molasses.

But if you’re the t-shirt chair,

You’re losing your hair!

Date party shirts,

Come with opinion quirks.

You can’t make everyone happy,

Even the dates were getting sassy!

Winter gear is fun I guess,

But the deadlines are longer than the rest (1/26).

Licensing laws are a new thorn in my side, 

Why can't you just let some things slide?

A surprise order you need in less than a week?

It feels like I’m up a creek!

But wait, I’ve got to attend classes too?

And work a part time job?! (I need money- it’s true!)

Don’t even get me started on the mess I was left,

Organization certainly was not kept.

Thankfully my assistant rocks,

And is on board to get ChiO socks!

Meetings, retreats, passouts and planning,

This job takes a fair amount of manning.

But I know I’m in for a treat,

Because I cant imagine a job more sweet!

XOXO
