"Thank God we're done"

Poetry On Odyssey: My Final Serenade

Sand,
The ocean,
Theme Parks,
Airplanes- not the flight just TSA and people,
Talking to strangers,
Waiting in line,
Pills that make me sit still,
Olives and my ex-girlfriend,
These are the things I hate.

I told myself this would be the last poem of my formulated hatred,
But I've been saying this for the past seven poems and 56 moments of crippling depression.
So fuck it.

I mean I should be depressed,
I mean I'm not sad but I feel it.
I'm a disaster!
My hair's a mess-
I barely get dressed,
My breath reeks of depression worse than 1929-
I keep repeating my own lines!
God only knows I that I wish I were fine.

Momento mori,
I hope you know this.
Not by my hands but by the karma you thought you could sweep under the rug.

But mother forgive me for I'm always sinning-
As I took only interest in suicidal thoughts and heavy metal to fuck up my system.
Don't excuse my language,
For my head is getting messed with.

For I've been so low for so long,
Not even for just a second-
For we used to be so high,
We couldn't see the bottom.

But I've been betrayed by the game.
And I hope that when we meet again that it gets to you.
I hope for when we meet again, I'm but a ghost.

Regret,
Lies,
Abuse,
Deceit,
Trailing on,
And unfulfilled compromises-
I'm the ghost of all these things.
For while you stand there screaming your heart out,
I'd silently plot my revenge till the lights out.
Whispering plans to karma hoping to be the ghost that haunts you at night.
A living nightmare,
Wondering why you can't sleep.

But this is just a fever dream as I write away your life today.
Momento mori-
As this poem is my final last serenade to you.

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.
