Left To Wander And To Want.

He was left wondering. And she, well, she was always left wanting more.

Left To Wander And To Want.

He wondered how she was so was so wise beyond her years.

She read poetry by scorned women, listen to the voices of women who have been done wrong, and fight for those who were already broken.

She wasn’t afraid of much.

She made boys feel intimidated, and men excited.

She would listen to her mother.

She would speak of the dreams she had for herself.

And make them reality.

And he, well, he had no idea what to think of her.

In fact, he didn’t think of her at all.

He would go, day by day, and gawk at whatever he found pleasing to the eye.

He would make himself bigger; take up space wherever he was at.

Made jokes whenever possible.

And always made a point to show interest in sex.

It was textbook for him.

And he didn’t even have to study.

He made others laugh, without trying.

He would listen to music, that at times did demine others, but made himself feel powerful.

She noticed him.

She always made sure to never give her attention to just anyone.

They would have make her swoon with affection.

Shown through chivalry, and respect.

She knew they weren’t dead.

Ever since she was younger; since she “wise”.

She promised herself to never be interested in someone like him.

She knew what she wanted.

Roses at her desk.

Goodnight text.

A hand to hold forever, and never let go.

But she couldn’t understand.

Why she wanted him.

He knew this.

At one point, he wanted her just as much.

But once he found out it wasn’t going to be easy.

He gave up.

He was left wondering.

And she, well, she was always left wanting more.

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.

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.
