"Roommate Problems"

After finally choosing a college life became stressful.
I had to choose a roommate but not be regretful.
All the kids that messaged me were weird and strange.
I would even say some were deranged.
As time went on I started to lose hope.
I figured i'd get a random roommate who was a dope.
When all faith seemed lost I saw a new request.
I logged onto Facebook and felt very blessed.
I opened the message and he actual seemed normal.
We talked for awhile and it seemed very formal.
We quickly became friends making everything better.
The stress went away with each new letter.
Soon we decided we should dorm together,
Knowing this i no longer felt under the weather.
With everything once again stress free,
Hopefully the rest of high school will go by easily.

"Going Back to Work"

Now that wrestling's over my parents told me I had to get a job.
I knew I had too and couldn't just sob.
I begged my parents to not make me go back,
But not having a job was something I couldn't lack.
So I decided to just go visit my old boss.
I asked him for my job back expecting him to say "get lost."
But sadly, that's not what he did.
He said to me "go home and apply online kid."
When I got home I did just that.
As badly as I didn't want to apply I knew I couldn't be a brat.
A week after I reapplied my boss called me saying when to start.
As much as I was dreading it, I knew getting paid again would be smart.
I told my parents I was going to start working again soon,
And the worst part was I could no longer be able to sleep until noon.
I guess I should just enjoy this one last week until I start.
Knowing I can no longer be lazy really hurts my heart.

"Applying for Colleges"

With the months passing quickly I had to get my college applications out soon.
I procrastinated with it so much I felt like it wouldn't be done until June.
Now all my friends already got accepted and I hand't even applied.
I told my father I had already, but of course I lied.
Then finally I decided it was time to stop delaying it.
It had to be done and waiting made me a nit wit.
After applying for my first college I realized it wasn't so bad.
In that one night I applied for 5 colleges and that made me glad.
Finally applying took so much stress off of senior year.
Now I couldn't wait for the results to appear.
The waiting seemed endless but it had only been a couple days.
I couldn't wait to hear back so the stress would go away.
Only two weeks after applying I got 3 letters in the mail.
Seeing them I was nervous and almost turned pale.
I opened the 3 and they were all acceptances,
I was so happy I could barely speak a sentence.

"Time Management"

With not a lot of free time life's very stressful.
Even though I knew keeping busy would feel successful.
Balancing school, a job and wrestling isn't the easiest thing to do.
But having a girl friend and being so busy made it worse too.
She started telling me that she didn't see me enough.
And at that point it started to get rough.
I had to balance time with my girl friend and friends.
At a certain point I was at my whit ends.
I told her that she had to be patient, I'd be less busy soon.
And after all of this she was still in a bad mood.
I gave it some time and left the situation alone,
Eventually she wasn't mad any more, I should have known.
At least everything's better now and she isn't mad.
I just hope she doesn't get sad.
Once wrestling's over I'll see her a lot more.
Until then it's a topic she'll have to ignore.

"A Wrestlers Diet"

Every wrestling season it's always the same thing.

Cutting weight for months until Spring.

With my weigh class 25 pounds away,

The stress made it hard to make it through the day.

Dieting correctly was very important.

Even though the season was still dormant.

As a few weeks went on I was still very stressed,

I still had 10 pounds to lose and not much time left.

A week before weigh ins I worked harder then ever.

Everyone told me to just go a weight class higher and all I said was "Never."

I ended up not making weight on time,

But even in the end I felt like I was in my prime.

I was given an extra week to make weight,

And this time I'll make sure I'm not late.

It's this Friday so wish me luck!

"Wrestling Was Around The Corner"

Getting back in shape for wrestling was very tough.
I honestly never thought it would be that rough.
With three weeks left before the season started,
I didn't even start and it made me disheartened.
I decided to suck it up and just start running.
I couldn't go home any more and continue bumming.
It was hard at first getting back into shape,
I knew I had to face it and there was no way to escape.
I worked out every day and it became easier.
By getting back in shape I stopped getting needier.
Once wrestling started I was very fit.
I went the whole practice unfazed when I got hit.
After a week of practice I feel very good.
I got back in shape quicker then I thought I would.
Now I'm happy I got back In shape,
Good thing I didn't wait!

"Sandy The Storm"

The storm we had last week was completely insane.
Being without power for a week was such a pain.
Seeing all the damage around town was very sad.
But not having to go to school that week made me glad.
Sitting in the dark and having nothing to do,
At least i got to see my friends and my girl friend too.
The sound of all the generators was annoying.
When I finally didn't have to hear them it was joying.
That week without power left me with so much work.
Not doing any of it made me feel like such a jerk.
At work that whole week it was extremely dead,
I wish I could have just spent all day in my bed.
Finally going back to school wasn't so tragic.
Me actually enjoying school must have been magic.
I would never want to go through that week twice.
Not having school was definitely not worth the price.
