My Goddess, My Goddess

My Goddess, My Goddess

My dear, beloved Goddess

You are my soul

You are my breast.


From Zeus's head

You hath come alive

With brains and bosom

You have truth and pride.


Like the moon, My Goddess

You bring me light

You change in moments

From sun to night.


Without you, My Goddess

The world is dull

I long for freedom

From my hunger's control.


My Goddess, My Goddess

Show me the way

This labyrinth of corridors

Has taken me away.


The monster within calls

For my slaughter sword

Could you handle blood?

With head on board.


Once slaughter has ceased

Do you forgive me?

For killing yet another

An enemy of thee.


You lead me out

From stone-cold hell

My lion it bellows

A proud hero's yell.


My Goddess, My Goddess

To you I obey

Your love conquered me

In every possible way.


A journey to travel

And win thou heart

Treacherous shoes to fill

Unsure where to start.


To battle one's family

Is ugly and rare

For the love I bear thee

There's no chance to spare.


The good must triumph

Devour the wretched kin

With the flute I hold

She will suffer in sin.


My Goddess, My Goddess

I've conquered my fight

I've rescued our love

You've fulfilled my hero's right.


My Goddess, My Goddess

You are my soul

You enlighten the world

With each myth told.


My Goddess, My Goddess.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. 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.
