July 2021 Issue

Welcome to the first-ever issue which marks
the beginning of this magazine. It may seem
all over the place, hence the name Shambles.
I for one, have no clue what is to become of
this in the future. For now, we hope to
continue over the summer, trying to bring
creativity and inspiration to you all. This
zine will be an outlet for many different
types of people. We want to showcase as
much as possible and give everyone the
opportunity to not only create but
experiment and explore their capabilities
and talents. We will only try to get better as
we keep working here. In attempts at our
first issue we never really discussed a theme.
But, I think that's the beauty of chaos and
disorder, you never really know what you're
going to get out of it. We hope you are able
to make any sense of the following pages.
Please, man, give us some slack here, we're
just trying to figure it all out. Anyways
enjoy whatever you find, as I said, it's
complete shambles.
Thanks
Josie Farris

I am where I am
I know what I know
And when I learn more
Then who knows where I’ll go?
Now I am here
And that’s alright with me
Let my worries disappear
I will simply be

The
Tree

The Tree
Mina Chavez-Torres
A small patch of grass
A tree that shades
Ten friends sitting around after class
Lunch time on the green blades
Secrets told
Laughs shared
Ageless friendship, that never grew old
They always cared
For each other
Safe space
To stick together
Even when friends have grown
And time moves on
The tree stands alone
And the memory is never gone

There's music for raging friday night
parties, there's music for walking
down the street or waiting for a
friend. There's music for the
sad, the joyful, the significant, most
memorabe moments. There's
music for every point in time and that
music just keeps evolving. That
music brings people together or to
nostalgize over. That music is
the world's one communication
where language isn't needed.
Through the beat, rythyms, meodies,
and instruments, that's all we need to
feel.

This happens to real people, real places

Points if you know
where this is from
by Josie Farris

It's sometimes hard to find
a way to convey your
feelings, thoughts and
encapsulate a whole world
within a few pages.
Writing

We write to communicate, to
communicate over 6,500
languages at once is
something we don't yet know
possible through writing.
