Pick me up: A Poem

A sad moment does not mean a sad life.

Pick me up: A Poem
Greatist

Sometimes we confuse a sad moment with a sad life. This poem/example is just a reminder that you can get through anything.

“Why am I so unhappy?” I think to myself as I cry silently

Tears pouring out of my eyes ,staining my pillow with a pool of tears

As I sit up from my bed and look in the mirror, a small part of me realizes I’m not unhappy, I am unhappy with this situation.

I have realized in those small moments when I feel the most vulnerable, the most insecure

That my achievements are far vaster than my failures

That a sad moment does not mean a sad life

Sad moments take up a lot of people’s lives, like a black cloud huddling over a person for a time period where they confuse this one moment with the rest of their life.

No, my friends we are not unhappy people

We are just experiencing unhappy moments

That this moment, this time of unhappiness is just temporary

That eventually things will go back to normal

You will feel yourself once again

You will soon be on a roller coaster that will only go up

You will not be upset any longer I promise you.

Things will get better but only with time, energy, and positive people in your life that matter to you.

For my friends that are struggling now, that maybe struggle everyday

I am here for you

I am sorry that temporary unhappiness to you is a reality everyday

That you feel like it is impossible to be happy

I am here to tell you that even if you think you can’t, you can

I am here for you if you ever need me, just let me know

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.

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. 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:

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.
