Poetry On Odyssey: "Melancholic Summer: A Collection Of Selected Poems"
Aley Lind

scioto sunsets:

the sun comes and goes,

as the day passes from

dawn to dusk;

you are my sun and you set

moments agone.

i am waiting for you to arise,

supplying my eyes with your

honeyed rays of light.

if i had my way you

would always stay,

but you're as free

as these words i write;

your choices are yours,

they will never be mine.


untitled #5:

it was okay even when you

damned my name, taking the

remains of my brittle heart

and it was okay when you

stole my soul, crushing every

last bit of light i had to offer

you were okay, and i wasn’t.

and that’s okay, for i’m to blame

for giving away my heart,

my soul, and my name


coffee shop thoughts:

a cup of coffee and

an ounce of words.

turning my heart into

ink, acquiring all the

questions or answers

to seek


fragility:

your heart isn’t capable of

treating my fragile feelings

rationed for your discretion;

releasing more than the blood

pumped through your cold,

apathetic body.

and you dismissed them.

they are fragile for a

reason. i am delicate.

my heart is supple; you

crystallized my veins,

twisting them together,

taking the remains.

the beat of my

existence will never be

the same, for it only beat

for you

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?

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.

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.
