Dust Yourself Off

A poem about best friends.

You lost yourself while chasing him -

the one you thought cared,

loved you for you,

and above all else

would never judge you.


Then, your worst nightmare

became your reality.

You never saw it coming.

It was like a train

seeing a car on the

tracks at the last second.

One moment too late

and bang!

Everything comes crashing down.

He was crushing you

and your strength was failing.


But you can get back up,

put the pieces back together.

He can't break you,

You are invincible.


Just a memory now,

one that made you stronger.

Goodbye old pain,

hello new happiness.


Come on girl -

dust yourself off.

He can't hurt you unless you let him.

He can't get to you unless you

make it easy for him.

You've got this girl,

stand up and be you.

No turning back.

Today. Today.

Is a new day -

to start fresh.

Keep moving forward,

don't lose your strength.

You've got this girl -

you are on your way,

to a new day.


I believe in you.

I believe in us.

Best friends forever -

I will keep your

spirits up.

Reminding you everyday

how awesome you truly are.


No more tears,

No more screaming,

Only smiles

and long talks.

You'll see -

I understand,

I've been there.

But you got me out

and now I am here

to bail you out

and bring your smile back.


The soft smile

that he took from you

just yesterday.

I can't believe he did that -

to you of all people.

Why did he want to hurt you?

He seemed so nice,

so loving.

He fooled us both.

But he won't get the best of you.

You are stronger than you know.

You see -

you taught me to be strong,

now it is my turn

to remind you.

My turn to be your guide,

someone for you to lean on.

I'll be here until the end.

I don't want to leave -

you're my best friend.


We've had our fair share

of ups and downs

over the years,

but I wouldn't know what to do

without you by my side.

You know my secrets

and my heartaches -

now it is time to return the favor

and be your absolute rock.

With us together -

we are untouchable.

He can't get you

while you are with me.


Come on girl,

be invincible.

You've got more strength

than you thought was possible.

Let's win this battle.

Fight for peace of mind.

You'll be all right -

the nightmares will stop.

He'll get out of your dreams eventually.

It just takes time

to weed out the bad

and let the good come in.


I know this isn't easy,

I had to overcome the dreams, too.

But, you will get through this.

I promise you that.

It will be okay.

I will be here for you -

keeping you going.

You can do this,

I know you can.

Through everything,

I will cheer you up.

This will all be okay,

I love you.


You are stronger

than the pain he caused you.

Your smile is coming back

and it makes me smile.

All our long talks

have made all the difference.

You are finding yourself again

and I have gotten to see that come about.

You are beautiful and loved -

forever and always best friend.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

181393

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.
