The Sequel to Johnny

Long Awaited
Liam Young

My life gone by, in pain and joy

Long years have passed, no longer a boy

No questions are here in this tome of a mind

If any are left, they are hard to find


In a worn old bed my aged bones rest

Large heaps of white linen made into a nest

Blurred phantom like people, all bustle about

Of in a corner one has on a pout


He's not like the others, his face is so clear

And as our eyes meet he starts to come near

His hand grasps to mine as I start my descent

My head hits the pillow, no time to repent


All blurred forms are stopped when I fall back in bed

My mind starts to wander, quite soon I'll be dead

As the light fades to nothing, the weeping persists

There by the wall they are banging their fists


My soul pays no heed, as I step out this form

The body's left chilly, the soul is what's warm

I pass by the forests of heaven's high peak

There where the strong give praise onto the Meek


On stretch the clouds in this twilight hewn world

Vast comforting meadows where children lie curled

From body to body my eyes flit around

I know you're here somewhere, this place without sound


There on a hillock I see a sweet boy

I look yet again could this be? Oh the joy!

I hasten my journey o'er souls in their sleep

To the boy on the hill who has brought me to weep.


His tanned crinkled nose

Oh his brown callused toes

And bright piercing eyes I can see

Then with the face of a warm summer day

He looks up from his vigorous play

And grinning runs over to me


My whole life I waited,

My soul to be sated

And oh did the time creep along

But now we're together,

up here in Forever

Me and my dear Friend John.

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?

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.
