Nosebleeds Poem

"It's just the pieces of a girl who fought through a hard week."

Nosebleeds Poem

I woke up this morning with a nosebleed and my mind started wondering. As I laid there on my bed with a warm wet rag resting on my face, I pondered into a plethora of thoughts. These thoughts spiraled into a poetic piece. This piece was inspired by the nosebleeds that I'm "iconically" known for.


Dry air. Wet pillow.

Puddle of maroon paint.

This is typical, no need to worry.

It's just the pieces of a girl,

Who fought through a tough week.


It's the Lord saying,

"Remember what you're made of."

Blood.

The blood of an infinite king.


It's the equivalent of a promise ring.

Commitment to yourself,

And your health.

A mental ring that was given to you

Through your self conscious,

From a guy who's not always cautious

About the feelings of the girl he promised to call

His.


Sending pictures of the skin that holds,

his rib cage and abdominal muscles,

Expecting the same from the female,

But the location is different.

The skin that holds her gluteus maximus.


She's not that type of girl.

The type of girl who hurls

Her body out there,

For a guy she's only known for

Two weeks tops.

Instead, she sends a picture of the skin,

That covers her skull.


Waking up in the middle of the night,

Wondering if what he wanted from her has changed.

He's seen the picture,

But forgot to respond...

Or did he?


One week.

The amount of time she waiting before,

Peeling him out of her life.

The week of silence, was the week,

She found him talking to another female figure.


Anger.

Irritation.

Rage.

Passion.

Lost.

Waste.

Of.

Time.


Loss of sleep.

Wet eyes.

Broken hearted girl.

Things silently thrown in a space full of darkness,

all alone.

She sits as her chest heaves at a fast pace,

Blood pressure at it's peak.


Dry air. Wet clothes.

Puddle of maroon paint.

Dripping down her philtrum.

Typical, no need to worry.

It's just the pieces of a girl who,

fought through,

a hard week.


"Remember what you're made of."

Blood.

The blood of a infinite king.

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.

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.
