The Anxious, Bipolar Mind

The voices don't stop.

The Anxious, Bipolar Mind
Harley Quinn, Bipolar Mind

You want a glimpse of my mind?
Will you embrace its futility in its whole?
The orchestra of voices that ricochet
My distraught woes so cumbersome

I am often frightened
With the depth of their accusations.

"You deserve to die"
"You waste of space"
"You don't belong here"
"Pills. Pills. Pills."
"Die. Now. You whore."
"Bleed. You're a waste of breath."

I wish you could make them shut up.
They drive me mad
Mad. Mad. I beg of you.
Make them stop.

They remind me of the nastiest nights
And the wretched mornings
Where my face feels like a disgrace

Why won't they stop?
Their constant badgering
Whispering, screaming.
Angry voices, mean tones.
Won't stop, they never do.

I have been titled
With numerous illnesses
That only glorify
Their disgusting presence

Nobody seems to know
Why they belong
In the strongest centre
Of my mind.

They just exist,
Like you and I do.
I can't make them stop.
You refuse to acknowledge them.
Cuz they don't really exist
A maya of my disturbed imagination.

What mirrors my mind truly to you?
All I see,
Are tainted images
With voices
Of octaves
More dangerous
Than I can stand them to be.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
