Graduation

My college experience has been full of numbers. I’ve been at UCSB for 4 years, which means 12 quarters. I’ve taken/slept through countless 8 AMs, received every grade value between 0 and 100%, watched the outside temp remain between 70° and 80° year-round, and calculated why it's financially irresponsible for me to get another 6 pack (the rack of 24 is just better value). Despite all these numbers, it's looking as though I’ll be grabbing my diploma alongside my buddies in 2 weeks time. So to put a gloss on 4 years of fun, learning, and hooliganism, here are some 5-7-5s, some bye-kus, if you will.

Los Angeles… home.

Time 

2021,

Now it’s 2026,

And I’m still a kid

Friday Night

Protein, Starch, Veggies.

Laughter, Square tables and chairs.

Shabbat at Hillel

Water

I oft ask myself:

Do I drink enough water?

The answer is no.

The Beach

I live on the beach;

Don’t know when I will again…

But I’ll be ready.

The Beach Pt. 2

I have a roommate

And we live in a garage;

I live on the beach.

Roommates

I’m grateful for the

Two roommates I’ve had this year.

I hope I’ve been nice.

Friends

I met some friends first,

I met others after that.

All at the right time.

Best Friends

My best friends are cool;

They make movies and music…

And great role models

Next

I don’t know what’s next,

If I’m eager or nervous,

But it’ll be good
