Just Another Eve

Inspired by "Paradise Lost"

Just Another Eve
Andrew Annenberg

Just another Eve in reincarnation
subsisting in this sorry
life of stagnation.
A woman-
a possession of adoration,
seeking a perpetual elation.

At times,

divinity forsaken.
At times,
identity mistaken.
Reaching for the apple,
her morals are shaken,
and her insides churn
from the bite she has taken.
Within it all,
she finds relation
to her eternal struggle
of resisting temptation,
a persistent desire
to provoke sensations,
whether it be
of body or mind,
always searching
for knowledge divine.
Searching for relations
to keep in line,
but she feels so out of her time.
A traditionalist and
a revolutionary combined.
In which era
does she reside?
And is this left
for her to decide?
Within her sincere eyes,
blatantly seen is her demise.
The fall of man
attributed alone to her hand.
But upon closer observance,
one could truly blame the serpent.
Yet nobody heard it,
the sibilant temptation,
provoking intense
feelings of Eve's frustration.
A destruction of
a holy divination
all due to an adder's invitation.
A hushed and
whispered conversation
which yielded
humanity's damnation.
Yet here she is,
Eve born yet again
and again and again -
in this paradigm
that never ends.
And at its conception,
at the time it begins,
life is cursed
with women who
will always give in.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
