Poetry On The Odyssey: Awaiting Anticipation

Hey Readers!

This week, I wanted to focus on anticipating an opportunity. I tried not to be too broad, but I hope there is encouragement felt within this piece. Anticipation can be a friend and foe, but all the same allow this to attract healthy and promising opportunities for you. Life is complex, but never let that keep you from doing what you truly have your heart set on; you, alone, walk your individual path. Keep yourself busy and ready to take on newer, promising prospects. I hope all of these new endeavors bring health and happiness. Onward!



Anticipation too great

You're forced to sit and wait

It would seem too easy

To appease what you have your mind set on

To either burst into tears

Or run away and become undone

What matters most is your mind is wandering

It neither settles nor stirs

Because you're curious

On which direction to turn

Yet if everyone figured it out

We'd be along the same road,

Bumping into one another

Lines blurred

Anticipation too unfocused

You're defeated to silence

Maybe it was too ambitious

Too outrageous

For you to seek

An opportunity waits

And really, that's all it takes

For you to go further than you hoped you could

Maybe it is something that lies dormant

But can be felt

Maybe it can be seen

But is far away

Let the dormant frenzy of what is potentially occurring

Come alive, inspiring those who feel they know not

Where they're going

Let the seen but far aspirations

Give way to even stronger affirmations

What you emanate in emotion is valid

Fear and courage alike

The weight in your shoulders

Or the uneasiness in your stomach

Is pure intuition

Listening with a keen ear won't lead you astray

It is easier to do what others say

However:

Where is the originality?

Where are you to be found in that?

Anticipation can be a guide

Or guise

But it is the soul

That is always wise on what you truly need

Allow the excitement to drive you

And the exceptional unknown to thrive you

Anticipation Awaits

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
