Dad Jokes

They have the type of smile that makes you want to find it over and over again. Sometimes you can't find it, so you go on some great odyssey to find it. This odyssey comes in the form of shitty dad jokes.

They have the sense of humor that makes you laugh so hard that you only wish they could laugh as hard and as true as you. So you try to give them that. The answer to that one is also shitty dad jokes.

All your time spent with them is in your head, worrying about if you are good enough for them. So you try to be good enough, but then find that you aren't being yourself. You try to be yourself at the same time. It doesn't work being cool and yourself at the same time. It's just an awkward jumble, but I guess an awkward jumble issuing yourself. It'll pass for now.

You aren't trying to win them over, or impress them. All you want is to make them feel the way you do when you're around them. If only you ever had a chance to be around them as much as you want. But you don't.

The brief moments we do have are special. It constantly feels like something magnificent should happen:

You approach with wide eyes, open-teeth smile, and enough charisma to stretch for miles.

You don't know it, but I am fighting so hard to not give away my feelings.

It's too hard, so I spew words all over the floor and the ceiling.

In the form of dad jokes.

I want you to make art, but not only cause you'd be good.

I want to see what you would talk about if you could.

What is important to you? What makes you tick?

I write so that I feel closer to you.

I hate ending poems.

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.
