ode

This is an ode to clothes. Perhaps, this is an ode to my clothes. Within the season of  Valentine’s, there are rarely any doves bringing forth opportunities for love. Instead, I turn to my clothes, the first and only things in my life I have ever adored.

Hearty laughter, petty fights and holiday movies from our childhood in the background all make November a time to look forward to, for the gathering is far more important than the aesthetics of the month.

August is finally here! It’s time to celebrate all of us born in this glorious month. Here is an ode to all the ones born in the month of August, the best month of the year! 

O hot sauce, king of condiments, how you inspire me to be brighter and bolder. Without you, my life would make no sense; every meal would be colder.

Regardless of major, political views, sexual orientation or religion, everyone on campus can agree that squirrels are the best thing about UC Berkeley. There’s no better way to express love than through a poem, so here's an ode to them just in time for Earth Day.

For anyone who wishes they were traveling right now, why not live vicariously through some travel vlogs? They allow you to appreciate the well-deserving magic of trotting the globe from the comfort of your living room.

Regardless of where I am, with my head bouncing in periodic nods, some things never change. I love you, my beautiful AirPods. In sickness and in health, you have stuck by me.

Soup doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves. It can feel like an afterthought, just something to have instead of a salad before the main entrée. This is unfair to the wonderful thing that soup can be.

Even when life gets stressful, your stuffed animals will be there to cuddle with and make life a lot more fun — seems like the perfect thing to help get a person through a semester at UC Berkeley.
