Last October

The leaves begin to crunch on the ground,

My mind bleeds vibrant colors to welcome the grey.

Surrounding the space with every step.

Soft skin shivers as the air hits and

Makes me think back to your chess game.

I Wonder where you are, who you’re with.

That’s when I know, it’s October first.

Last autumn was different. You were different:

A lonely boy lost in your own world.

You needed me again to guide you.

But you secretly wanted me by your side.

I wanted it too though not romantically

The Not so Romantic Side of the V-J Day Photograph

The year is 1945, the black paved street surrounding Times Square is filled with unknown faces. The sound of cheers fills the air circulating around the tall buildings. Tears of joy leave the eyes of the people. Suddenly, a sailor reaches his arms out to grab ahold of a woman dressed in all white. He dips her and tenderly covers her lips with those of his own. Click! The shutter sound of the camera goes off and the Kodak moment that will soon become every hopeless romantic’s favorite snapshot.

A student’s thoughts on religion

For KU students, it may seem like religion is only expressed when the religious protesters crowd the front steps of the Academic Forum on campus. Even with them telling the students about God and the Bible, some students notice that many other religions are not being acknowledged.

KU, a go green campus

KU has been made environmentally friendly with the help of the group on campus, Students Promoting Acts of Recycling. However, the campus can go a step further by placing recycling bins next to every trashcan.

The north side of campus has a total of four recycling bins, which is better than not having any at all. However, by adding a recycling bin next to every trashcan, students will be encouraged to recycle their plastic bottles rather than just throwing them away.

About Me

Hello, my name is Samantha Kilpatrick and I'm well.....still trying to figure out life. Here is what I do know though. I enjoy writing whether its in a poem form, article or a profile about someone else. I love meeting new people and communicating with them. 

Everywhere I go in life, I try to make my own mark. I want to be remembered by my work ethic and be known as the girl that has always tried her best. I know one day, I will figure everything out, but as far as right now I know wherever I go in life writing is going to be my main priority.
