Learning Life Through Poetry
Brigitte Tohm

I have always been drawn to poetry. The way the words flow, pulling me in with each line, and resonating within me. Poetry seems to always be able to be so powerful and significant. Here are five short poems that are full of words of wisdom:

1. R.H. Sin.

This poem reminds you that it is OK to feel hurt. Everyone goes through situations at some point that leaves them broken and hurt. Society makes it seem like you have to be tough, not show any emotion, and move on. It is perfectly fine to let it hurt, as long as you let it go.

2. A.R

This poem hits deep. It reminds you that sometimes love is blind. The feelings you get when you think you're in love are so similar to the feelings you get when you are in pain. Love can be painful. What was once characteristics of love can so easily become the signs of your pain.

3. Atticus

Atticus shows you fear is normal, and it shouldn't be the thing holding you back. What makes you stronger, more powerful is when you go on despite the fear you feel.

4. D.J.

You will across people in your life that are both the perfect summer day and a hurricane. They can make you the happiest person, but can also be the worst storm you have ever endured. Sometimes you aren't sure which one that person is. In the end, they will always change your life in some way.

5. E.H.

This poem greatly shows how you should define yourself. You are not a number or your appearance. You are the experiences you have, the people you interact with, and so on. The things you place your identity on so much have so little value in the end.

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.
