Can You Blame Me? - A Poem

As quickly as you made me believe in love, I stopped believing in it again.

Can You Blame Me? - A Poem

can you blame me

If all the promises you once made

Were merely a facade

the more we progressed, the more I looked

For the man you once were.


the late nights , the times where you made me feel inexistent

don’t fucking ever tell other people otherwise

Making me out to be the bad guy

When you will never take accountability


I thought it was my fault for so long

I thought the man you once were disappeared because of me.

but that is so far from the truth

That man you once was ,

Will never be who you are


You read so far into my words,

My identity, my essence

You knew what I wanted in a man

And became the version that I’ve always wanted,

only for it to just be slammed back

In my face because you couldn’t keep the act up


I wanted the you in the beginning to come back

so badly that I stopped finding the beauty in myself

I believed all the things you said to me ; your words were like gospel to me.

since I truly did feel safe with you.

And thought that you would always be there for me.


but after showing my demons & vulnerabilities since I trusted you

not only were you shocked but you also viewed me as a burden

even though I was there through all your bullshit

I never put them against you; I just wanted you to hold my hand and love me like the way you did before


Can you blame me

If after all this time

I won’t be able to open my heart back up again

and that as quickly as you made me believe in love,

I stopped believing in it again.

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.

192024

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.
