Maybe my friend Tori was right -
"What if you end up a Mermaid in those jeans of his
with her name still on them?"
I laughed at her -
I had never tried getting in your pants
Just for the sheer idea of doing it
I probably couldn't fit them anyway

But what if . . . .
(it was more likely anyway that . . . )
You saw me as a Mermaid,
Something that didn't exist -
A sailor's myth,
Something your mind projected
because it wanted to see
A Mermaid
In those tight black pants
That were her signature.

Jackie's Writings
-Happiness is an indescribable feeling that truly only exists when you are at peace with yourself.

-Life is like the rolling hills. sometimes up and sometimes down, but no matter what, life is always beautiful.

-Fate is what brought you to me, and love is what moves you to stay.

-Fate is a one way street that two people collide on.

-Life does not always have to be a challenge, but it is yhose challenges that we endure from wich we learn.

More Deep Thoughts
1. The secret to taking good notes is taking them from someone who goes to class.
2. Cliff Notes do not give you the same experience of reading the book, which is why you should read Cliff Notes.
3. Cheaters never win, but if they copy from the right people they could tie with the best.
4. Just because they call them Work/Study Jobs, doesn't mean you have to do either one.
5. Never wait to the last minute to start a paper - get an extension.
6. If you're going to cram the night before the test, make sure you cram everything onto a piece of paper you can fit into your sleeve.
7. Never judge a book by its cover. Save your opinion until you read the back of the book.
8. In case you need an excuse for missing an important exam, explain that you didn't know about the, "Beer before liquor," rule.
9. On essay questions, write long and sloppy. Professors have many papers to grade, and tons of jibberish will always get a passing grade.
10. Don't be concerned about failing. The only people concerned about your GPA are employers.
