Let's Perform Magic

A small poem for you — the inside thoughts of emotions.

Let's Perform Magic

I remember. I remember when I first felt it. My bones went numb even though I didn’t know they could do that. My palms were steaming, my palms were steaming, and my eyes felt a slight sting from them having to hold back something that only comes every so often.

They only come around so often…

Well, that was an odd experience. I didn’t understand any statements that were being spilled through their teeth because they were bringing up words not very familiar in my vocabulary. Words that I could only hear at a slow and steady rate. Words that meant some sort of connection I had only seen from a distance. The words that fell from their mouth were ones they did not mean, so I had to pry the words, real meaning from an un-wanting tongue. I don’t reckon these words meant to fall in the first place, but it was too late.

I reckon a lot of things…

I reckon that I have trained my brain to deter all of my emotions at a flip of a hat. Isn’t that a special trick? It’s all one big magic trick. I could constantly convince myself everything was magic, nothing was real, but what’s the point of living if nothing is real? People seem to think life is very simplistic if you perform fewer tricks, but everyone will still try and entertain.

You find yourself in a puff of magic smoke only to disappear to make the crowd rise…

You will find yourself listening to The Weekend on the weekend next to a person that has the idea of staying for long, but the only thing that is long is the everlasting thought of when they are going to leave. I wonder how many more dots I see before I get to a final point? Magic is seen through wonder and mystery. That’s what makes it so interesting to a crowd. You never know what someone’s next step is.

Wondering is good and bad for the soul…

There are those dots again.

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.

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.
