How to Fix a Broken Person

Sometimes people need to take the time to fix themselves.

Thank you to the people that left me the broken boy

I don't have the medical equipment to stitch up his open wounds

How does a person continue to still pick at their flesh when there's a chance it could be infected?

I wasn't trained to be a doctor so I can't answer that question

Psychology isn't my major so I can't provide an explanation

But experience was my teacher when life wasn't patient with me

I know the feeling you have running through your veins

Toxic blood that can't help but to be flooded with resentment, vengeance and anger towards the one that grabbed the gun, shooting your childhood away

I'm sorry they murdered you before it could even become a part of you

And now instead of being you, you're darkness that I now have to mend and stitch

And I don't have the needle or thread

All I can do is say that I love you and hope the kisses are like painkillers, temporarily fading the pain

But because painkillers are highly addictive I'd rather not be the one you depend on

Because in order to heal you need that mirror to lean on

You are the cure to your own misery

Whether that means to fix your attitude, your outlook or your surroundings you need to fix it

Talking to me will not repair the broken boy beneath your skin lying underneath your bones whaling for love

But digging deeper beyond your ribcage that memorized the rhythms it succumbed to daily, to reach to that little boy should bring you the healing you need

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:

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.

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.
