My Face

A poem by Alexa Barnes.

I am the queen of the bitch face

I am the ice caps sitting on the top of Mt. St. Helens

And my tears are the melting, pouring, running ice water.

I have traveled the world. I have loved.

My heart has settled, bloomed flowers and

Been set on fire.

The sun has set upon me, melting

Layers off my skin,

Peeling me away to the core.

And I have thrust my heart onto plates

At the hands of others.

My tears have flooded lakes.

My eyes have put people to silence-

My lips have brought men to their knees.

They have also brought me to a death in my own mind.

I have swam to the bottom of the ocean.

I have flown to the surface of the sun

And a garden has bloomed in my mind and died again.

I have seen it all

I have felt it all

And I have watched the castle walls come

Crumbling down,

Only to be built back up again-

But I am the queen of the bitch face.

No one knows the hell you walk through

Or the tornadoes you create

Until it is over,

And all you have left

Are the stories to tell.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
