Toxic relationships hurt more than the two people involved.

We're crazy about each other

To the point of where you put us all under medication.

You console me, but it sounds

More like you need to convince yourselves.

There's no loyalty, no fidelity, no trust

Between you two, so you beg my allegiance

Because neither of you provide anything but chaos.

We're something chemical

And boy are you right.

You smoke the room to suffocation capacity.

I'm second hand consuming your

Toxic behavior, but I can't make you quit.

There's an addiction to it.

So appealing to you,

You don't notice me dying.

We fight because we care

You care too much, but not about each other.

This game of love and you know you cheat.

You know no one else will ever want to play with you.

Not the way you do with each other.

The war comes from all sides.

A casualty in the crossfire.

You break each other's leg

Then crutch each other through life.

If you love someone, you don't give up.

It's tunnel vision so narrow and deep

To think such a way. We teeter

Totter until we're sick from so called love.

A romance wrought from cause and effect

The input of violence for the output of making up.

You're so wrapped up you forget

Some of us are umbilical corded to you.

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.
