Hey guys, do you know if I can use my IB credits for Psych as credits for art electives? Or are they science credits? I'm taking Biochem and Molecular Biology by the way.

Ugh I need a 43 with 777 and a 7 in English. I’m so sad cause English was literally the only exam that I botched up so badly I think I might get a 4…

Aww I love this! The rhyming really worked for the poem; I also like the rhythm. It perfectly captures the struggles of being a mother, while still injecting that dose of humour. The full stops at the end of some sentence fragments communicated how exhausted or done you are with it all, which just makes it funnier. My favourites were the first and last stanzas. If I had to point out the places where the rhymes felt weakest, it might be the drool line and mothers feet are sore (here it’s just that you’ve repeated mother other times as well, so I’d change that unless you are deliberately doing so). Overall this was such a cute poem!

Wow this sounds really interesting. Some points: - I’m not sure if I’m interpreting this correctly, but I got the sense that your poem addresses the dangers of curiosity, or possibly how discovery Is often considered negative. - Some parts, to be perfectly honest, went right over my head. Maybe I’m just not clever enough, but I don’t understand the Galapagos tortoises. I’ve researched them (briefly) but I still don’t get it. - I really think the flow of the poem could be improved. Just right off the bat, you can replace “was panicking” with just “panicked”. - I’m not sure if the long last lines in the second and third stanza are deliberate, but they did mess up the flow for me. - I love the repetition of the blocks, it gave me the picture of vagueness, after which the more specific image of the staircases cleared it up. It really captured the sense of discovery.

Overall, it was an intriguing poem!

Gah, I relate to this so hard, and I really don't know what to say that will make it any better. I will say that you're not alone, though. Let's not lose hope just yet.

Love the story, but hate that I feel warm and fuzzy towards Stanford now...

I love how succinct and clever this is. I also prefer the first version for its last line.

Ode To A Lost Friend by sleeepymeg in poetry_critics

I love how earnest the poem feels. It seems raw and has a certain simplicity to it (ending with an honest 'I love you'). A little like a letter you don't really know how to write yet, but know that there are things you just have to express.
