Poetry On Odyssey: When Your Mind Is A Battle Ground

Never thought there would be a war, a war between my thoughts and my heart.

Poetry On Odyssey: When Your Mind Is A Battle Ground

This is a collection of poems that I wrote months back. I wanted to let everyone know that may feel like they are all alone in this mind battle, that you aren't alone. You will get through it, this is only temporary and there will be a light soon. One day that battleground won't be a battleground but a peaceful ground.

Battle Ground

Never thought there would be a war

A war between my thoughts and my heart

Never thought these wounds would come again

Or even break apart

I thought I had the perfect plan

To finally never have to deal with it again

I just wanted to play pretend

Thought that would stop them from coming in.

Battle Ground With The Sweet Sound

Now I'm lying chained… is there a way out

I know I've been here a couple times so I should know

I'm just done with all this lost hope

You make me believe, you make it comfortable when you speak, and I just can't seem to figure out what truth is

"Come take a seat here and don't leave."

And that's what I've done just to please

Battle Ground Why Can't You Be At Peace

I want to be free

I want the hell out can't you see

I'm over coming here and having you take over me

I want control, I want to find the deep truth, and stop overthinking

I want to end all these wars I come to, and heal everything

That hill I see others on:

Go, run, you can do it, don't listen to the voice that says they won't let you come on

A New Beginning

Battle Ground

You may have won before

But let me tell you the war is over

New soldiers came and fought

showed me what true strength I got

You are never going to steal what you stole from me from the first shot

Because between you and me, this ground is now my territory

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.
