Poetry On Odyssey: My Friend

I met her in the city


Who the hell was that I wondered


She had a way about her

You know, the kind that dragged men to their feet

When she smiled she ate the sun


I was smarter than her

She knew the way of the world


Sometimes, I catch her staring

Like, she was jealous...

of me.


I was envious


She could do no wrong

She made no mistakes

I wanted to hater her.

I did hate her


I never seen her cry

I wanted to

Just to see if she was real.


Then she cried


I knew her as strong, but

Her heart was frail

Everyone knew but me

I looked out for her.


My friends loved her

Strangers adored her

How was she lonely


She prided that she was better

She hinted I was lower

But her toned proved her innocence


I was critical


One day,

I met a guy... who

was enthralled by her

He couldn't she was unlovable

We fought, we disagreed

It almost killed us.


The tension never left

But somehow,

our bond strengthen

There were things we never talked about


I shared secrets she shared stories.

I needed her

Or was it in my head.


We silently competed and violently aruged


I tried everything to keep her laughing

Some how I leaned on her

Like she leaned on me


She's gone now.

I loved her

I never want a friend like that again

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
