Lovers of Glass

Lovers of Glass

We are the lovers

The lovers shielded by a visceral piece of glass.


Our barren bodies represent our misfortunes and unfeasible road to sovereignty

The only road that could lead us to some sort of sanity.


We see in the distance an alluring picture,

One that could be our future.


An overflowing waterfall yearns for us,

It is the immense amount of passion we have between each other.


A clear blue sea touches our fragile hearts,

It exhibits all of the opportunities we could have ahead of us.


The white cotton candy clouds kiss our cheeks,

They allude to the one place where we will be together one day, untouched by the potent glass.


The rose between us pricks our thumbs,

Conveying our terminal fate.


We are the lovers

The lovers shielded by a visceral piece of glass.


The glass that keeps us confined to our demons

The glass that leaves us in solitary

The glass that keeps us from our aspirations.


There is a sinister force behind the glass

One that is unknown.


The glass will not budge.


It shows us the pure beauty of all we could have,

But haunts us by halting our passions and dreams.


It gives no explanation

And it gives no apology.


We are the lovers

The lovers imprisoned by this unbreakable glass.


Only here to ruminate on the idyllic picture of the unforeseeable future.

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.

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.
