Poetry On Odyssey: I Love Her, Not Just Me & Her

I was getting ready to lose her…not just in a romantic sense, but as the friend I needed.

You ever just grow an intense bond with someone that you wouldn't trade for the world, but just because you two couldn't "be together", everyone expects you to be hostile? It's okay if things don't work out, it comes with moving on. But the thing is, no one is entitled to fall for and be with you. This is a small poem I wrote about that.



You ever think maybe I'm not just in it for love?

Yes I love her,

Not just the thought of her with me,

the way she fills my mind with childlike wonder

How she's dances through my life years blessing it.

And to think…

I was getting ready to lose her…

Not just in a romantic sense

But as the friend I needed

I couldn't do it

Yes she hurt me…

… un… unintentionally

But I'd rather lose her to someone else's love

… or tender care

Than be left without her entirely

Because forgive her I couldn't dare

When we're all mistake making hunks of junk probably going nowhere!

Maybe I'm not supposed to find my love with her

Maybe I'm not supposed to find love at all

But I'd rather find even just a glimmer of happiness in her smile…

If it be with someone else…

Than waste life hating her,

Because I wasn't her beck and call

I don't just love the thought of us you see,

I kinda just love her for her to where…

I just want her to be happy

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:

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.
