A poem to motivate you to re-create your soul against trying times. No art is as unique as you are; Keep going.

Hey readers! This week, I wanted to try to personify feelings that weigh us down. While this piece doesn't specifically focus on one emotion or state-of-being in general, I focused on what it can do to the spirit. There will be times when you are left trapped by what you feel, but please always know that I believe in you. I cannot place myself in everyone's shoes, but understand that my writing will be here to help break the confines of any bad emotions holding you down. There is never an easy or correct way of reassuring anyone during their time of struggle but I'll always remind you: Keep going.



There was a point where she

Felt she was falling

The cracks began to edge her

Until she knew she would be alone

The dark vastness welcomed her

Wholly and eagerly

She shoved it, but soon

Allowed it to comfort her

'What else can keep me feeling?'

It was warm at first,

Cocooned in place where nothing could feel

Sad again or likewise

But the longer she stayed

The colder this place began to feel

It was heavy

It was suffocating

It wasn't where she wanted to be

So, she shoved again

Only this time, she won

She was free

It was sort of like flying

So full of nothing but anticipating everything

The world convinced her

She couldn't fly above the clouds

Mountains

Oceans

And all that kept her held

But, here she was, wings

All spread about

And ready to break

Free

For the feeling she thought

She could never have

Bloomed within her

Absolutely

How good it felt

How liberating to be

The person that seemed to disappear

With all of the same passions and joys

The "her" she remember began to breathe

It was like watching stilled art come to life

And art, she was

Creating her world again

Molding her soul once more

Painting her spirit anew

Free art in the finest form

Ever growing through mounds of uncertainty

But now, she had wings

These to truly set her colorful art

Free

Totally and absolutely

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.
