"I Am" Poem 2013

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the coldest winter.

I wonder if there is such thing as love, If the expectations meet the feelings of the word.

I hear terriblewords spoken amongst each other, while kind and thoughtful words are kept quiet from all who need it.

I see the reflection from the moon smiling at me as itsglimmering light peaks through my window each dark night.

I want to wake up one brightmorning and have my parents back in my life, withsoberthoughts.

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the coldestwinter.

I pretend I am an unopinionatedactress, simply playing my role in life without question and doing as I'm told.

I feel emotionally exhausted like a lost child wandering the world but not knowing their final destination.

I touch my little sister's innocent hand and feel unconditional love from the purest heart there is.

I worry I'll wake up to a phone call from the hospital saying my mom has overdosed.

I cry when I think of the dreadful night that was April 4, 2013, the day my grandma went to heaven and left us.

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the coldest winter.

I understand that I can't change my shameful past but I can always mold my unexpectedfuture.

I say life is like a crystal clearriver, it just keeps flowing through obstacles thrown into it.

I dream through all the revengefulchaos of this generation, that people will count their blessings each and every single day.

I try to make my uncle proud even though I've made some poor decisions, I learned from them and improved myself.

I hope the brightand mysticalstars in the sky keep shining down at everyone and the earth keeps it's natural beauty of the green grass, tall trees, and expressive animals.

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the

coldest winter.

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.
