Fiction On Odyssey: An Open Letter To The Werewolf That Bit Me

I won't ever be able to forgive you. I know that and you should know that too. You should also know though, that I've stopped hating you.

I won't ever be able to forgive you. I know that and you should know that too. You should also know though, that I've stopped hating you.

I will always crave to be a normal girl again but I have also stopped hating the werewolf side of me. The side that your bite gave me. It took a long time but I gave up on hating any part of myself a long time ago.

You made my life harder but you also gave me something that I've just started to see for what it is, a gift. Without this I could never have run this fast or been this strong, most importantly, I would not have been able to save all those people. I would never give this up now and would never wish that this hadn’t happened.

No, for as much of a curse this is it is my precious gift now. It is hard for me to even remember that night. It was a full moon, obviously. I suppose you could say it was stupid of me to be hiking in the forest alone at night but I had grown up there.

Those woods had always been my place to go, a second home. I guess it is more so now… I remember hearing the sharp snap of twigs and didn’t even flinch as I was used to wild animals running around. Then I heard a howl, a wolf, you.

What came next is mostly forgotten on me. I do remember waking up the next morning with a large bite of my arm, there was so much blood I was sure I was bleeding out. I ran home crying and cleaned my arm. My parents, still asleep, had no idea anything had happened as I wasn’t supposed to be out at night I didn’t tell them about it.

You may have thought that first night might have been the scariest part and the reason I will never forgive you. You would be wrong. What came next is the reason you will never have my trust of forgiveness. For after you bit me, I never saw you again.

Those long weeks where I was going through my changing you left me alone. You left me to cry and freak out, completely unknowing of what was wrong with me. You left me to figure it all out by myself.

I have figured it out now… for the most part. While I expect I will never see you again I do wonder about you often. Who are you, would I know you if we passed on the street? I have so many questions I could never hope to answer without the help of another… well, you get it.

As much as you have hurt me you will forever be a huge part of my life. I will never rid of you and that is okay because my anger towards you has died, the only thing left behind is curiosity.

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.

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.
