A Clear Midnight

I can relate to this poem because it has a very peaceful, laid back flow to it and the words seem as if he were in a very happy mood while he wrote it. I describe myself with a laid back personality and that I am happy to be living life. I think about the good things in life and set aside the bad things.

Poets To Come

Poets to come! orators, singers, musicians to come!
Not to-day is to justify me and answer what I am for,
But you, a new brood, native, athletic, continental, greater than
before known,
Arouse! for you must justify me.

I myself but write one or two indicative words for the future,
I but advance a moment only to wheel and hurry back in the darkness.

I am a man who, sauntering along without fully stopping, turns a
casual look upon you and then averts his face,
Leaving it to you to prove and define it,
Expecting the main things from you.

Money

"Is it better to enjoy your money when you earn it or it is better to save your money for some time in the future?

I personally believe it is better to save your money for some time in the future. I am a saver anyway and I don't like when people spend their money on useless things, like food for example. A comparison in my life would be like my sister and I. Two totally opposite people and we have a totally different intake on money because while I'm saving for a car, she is spending all of hers. Most of the time people work hard for their money and then they go and blow it away. When you are mature enough to have a job and make your own money, I would think that if you worked hard for the money then you wouldn't spend and you would save for something useful. I want to be successful in life and even though people say money isn't everything, I still believe it is since you need money for almost everything and with out it, where would you be? What could you afford? Many people have a total different view on saving and spending but hey, who wants to be a homeless person on the side of the road begging for money? Not me!

Sophomore year.

Well... sophomore is pretty good so far. I definitely like it more than freshman year although I miss some of my teachers. The good thing about this year is that i have a lot of my friends in all of my classes, which makes it ten times better(:
