Starting Out

The following haikus represent some of the ones that weren't completely terrible ;]

Political Scene

The following haikus were written between Sept 2012 and March 2013. 
The majority of these haikus were my reactions to the debates around election season.

Fordham

The following haikus were written between Sept 2012 and March 2013. 
They refer to my life as a college student at Fordham. 

Looked at calendar / 
Two months 'til graduation / 
Two months to transform

Finally received / 
The 2012 yearbook / 
Time to reminisce

This paper's hands down / 
one of the most difficult / 
I've ever written

First day of classes / 
I always feel so anxious / 
This room is tiny

Class just made me feel / 
very uncomfortable / 
Wrestling with feelings...

Just realized that / 
My twenty-page paper is / 
actually TEN!

Writing these papers / 
and eating ALL the cookies / 
Depression starts now! 

Motivation to / 
finish these ghastly papers? / 
pizza and movies

Procrastinating / 
Just applied to graduate / 
That's still productive

Two down, one to go / 
But for now, a little sleep / 
I need to recharge

Proofread my paper / 
It almost put me to sleep! / 
I've mastered boredom

Finished last paper / 
Too tired to celebrate / 
Now home for some sleep

Fordham, you did it! / 
Channeled outrage creates change. / 
Fight the good fight, friends!

Toured Hughes hall today / 
A little late in the game / 
But... wow O-M-G!

I keep dozing off / 
in the library! It's so... /
...humiliating

CSF Rock Band / 
Note to self: don't touch the mic / 
Say it, don't spray it!

Each time at LC /
I discover something new /
Today: library

Professor, thanks for / 
my bday gifts. No class and / 
deadline extension

Classes are cancelled! / 
SO much time to study, but... / 
PROCRASTINATION! 

So proud of Fordham. / 
You rallied around a cause. / 
Now let's keep this up!

It is possible / 
but so inconvenient / 
that's that grad life, yo

One of my classes / 
Ends three weeks before the rest / 
Just six sessions left

Moved up to fourteen! / 
Fordham Latinos increase / 
affirm that action
