A Girl In The Mirror

Lost in her own reflection.

A Girl In The Mirror

Why do I feel the way I do?

I can’t shake this feeling off.

I’m always waking up groggy.

Every time I look in the mirror before me, I see

somebody else that is not me.

Who is this person?

All I see is this 5’2 girl with dark brown hair.

A reflection of a girl who seems lost and confused about so many things.

Someone who is scared and at times feels alone.

Where did that smile go?

Every single time I look at myself in the mirror, I’m always telling myself

that who I see looking back at me is not who I really am.

This is a woman who is about to turn twenty-one soon and

she still does not have a clue who she is or what she wants.

Cannot help but feel like I am letting everyone else down. Like I am a disappointment to

everyone close to me. There are days where I just feel like I can’t do anything right and it

hurts me to see that others are hurt because of me.

But it’s getting better. My Boyfriend and I have finally started listening and working on our

issues.

All this is okay because life is a journey and someday I will have found myself.

And that beautiful smile will return but until then I just got to keep on going.

I can live the happy life I know I’m supposed to have.

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.
