Feeling Lost
Design Spartan

Wandering lost depths in a field of bruised yellows and blacks,

Chasing bees instead of running from them,

In an upside down topsy turvy world.


We are the weak under a thumb,

Scraping the dirt behind the nail.


Can’t remember feeling lost when I was found.

In the seas of being perky wall flowers,

Spent a whole life driven by words on the wall.


Seeping through the cracks,

Pushing me beneath the ground.


Soiling me up until I can no longer breathe.

Through hands, smothering soft whispers,

And ghosts haunting from a traumatic past.


Whirling through an endless timeline,

With broken giving trees and bland Dr. Seuss’


Choking on smog created by Big Brother.

From an orphanage of a mother,

Who lost her baby in a leap year.


Challenging the views of traveling birds,

And sneaky rabbits who play on playing tricks.


Over and under.

Under and over,

Comes the hook of a skeleton man.


Who grabs the only known thing,

This world has come to learn.


The love that bears in the nipples of Mother Nature’s flesh,

The whispers that exist between the storms and the grasses,

The hands grasped by a mother to a daughter.


He who needs to let go, forgive and accept.

She who needs to be told, grab her hand and pull.


This world craves the warmth from our hearts,

The warmth that has soon masked in the melting of our planet.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
