Reality over imagination.

I can't feel anything...my body feels so cold. My hands are slowly turning purple and I can't say a single word due to the dryness in my throat...the room is cold. It feels as if there is no life around me. The plants near me are frozen solid and the water has crystallized, sparkling as the light hits it. All of a sudden, I see a light across the room shining so bright as if it's purposely trying to grasp my attention. I start to see water droplets fall from the ceiling, the ice is melting and I start to feel the warmth come over me, slowly allowing me to move. Free from that frozen nightmare, I walk towards the light. It seems as if it wants to take me somewhere as we walk around this building - unable to find a way out until we reach a tall cold metal door.

"Knock knock."

I hear nothing from the other side. The light moves behind as if it wanted me to go inside. I open the door but can't see anything. It's so dark that I can't even notice the floor or the walls...

A few steps in and I suddenly fall into an abyss of darkness, already as scared as I can be. I don't want to imagine what's going to happen next. I decide to open my eyes and see light at the bottom. Light as pure and as bright as the sun. I had to close my eyes again because I could feel them burning and then start to water. I stop falling.

I open my eyes and realize I'm not on the floor. As I stand floating, I giggle at the thought that I'm just a few inches off the ground, wondering how all of this was possible. I reach for the ground, but as soon as I touched it, the room went dark. I fall to the floor, not being able to see a thing, only hearing the sound of a man's voice:

"Come this way." he said.

"Where are you?" I yelled out.

My head started filling with voices as if I were in a crowded room listening to people chatter all at once. Kneeling to the ground and covering my ears as I yell in pain, I start to see a fiery path of flames on the ground headed towards me. Running, I feel the room getting hot. I see the light again just a few feet away. The fire grows, reaching up towards the ceiling, lighting up the entire room. But it was too late. I fell into another dark hole that made me fall into the open ocean.

I see a beach nearby with people dancing and walking on the shore. I swim as fast as I can, but it feels like I can't reach them. I yell and I yell, yet no one can hear me. I'm living a nightmare, and after all the pushing and kicking, I feel weak. My lungs fill with water and I turn my face towards the sky. I see the light... and for once I reach towards it.

And just like that, I was back on the hospital table.

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.

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.
