This Is For The Boys That Broke My Best Friend’s Heart
Joshua Sazon

Hi.

I'm the best friend.

Let's go ahead and skip the part where you pretend

that nothing ever happened.

Trust me, I know.

You broke her,

so I'm just trying to understand.


She carved out her heart,

placed the beating organ in your hand,

and you just drop it.

I've come to realize it's not that she wasn't enough.

Obviously, she was more than you could hold.

I guess you couldn't handle the weight of gold.

Her heart has all this love to give.

It will pour like rain in a hurricane,

so if you keep using your umbrella,

she'll find another place to be a perfect storm.


And for the players,

when you were younger,

you used to play with trucks and race cars,

but now you're a teenager,

and you like playing with hearts.

She is one of many that died just trying to love you.

She grew roses in her chest,

but you thought it'd be fun to play life or death;

you were always the latter.


And as for the boys that held her too tight:

you gave her a place to call home,

but locked the door.

Your arms; the chains bound to her body.

Your overprotection painted with jealousy.

She couldn't breathe anymore.


Love cannot grow in tight grips and loose wrists.

As young women,

we search for self confidence in the

mouths of teenage boys,

but the only person that can truly

make us feel loved is ourselves.

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.
