A Poem For The Girl Who Struggles To See Her Self Worth

You see her standing there across your way,

And to yourself you begin to say,

Gosh she's perfect, her life seems so great.

Could I be like her, or is it too late?

You stare and you stare, in great disbelief

That a smile so bright could be hiding such grief.

You say no way, not her, she's got it all!

She's pretty, she's funny and she walks so tall.

You fail to come up with something she lacks,

but little do you know when she's alone, her mind attacks .

She lies in her bed, tears running down her face,

each one seeming as if it is some sort of race.

She tries to hold it in, and make her cries silent,

As her mind slowly becomes more and more violent.

She continues to wonder what it is she's doing wrong,

For it was her confidence that was missing all along.

You know it's her confidence that's lacking, for when she looks in the mirror,

she's blind to her blessings, if only she could see clearer.

Constantly worrying and wanting to change,

She wonders why only she is feeling so strange.

She carries on with her life, hiding her struggles,

Wondering why no one else has any of these troubles.

She wonders why me? What did I do,

God answers "look around darling, it's not only you.

You all do nothing but put yourselves down,

and after all of my hard work, seeing that leaves me with nothing but a frown.

For in my eyes I have created a masterpiece, so wonderful and unique,

But everyone wants to change something about their physique.

Open your eyes darling, stop putting yourself down,

Instead treat yourself as royalty, and put on your crown.

In all of your troubles, realize that you are not alone,

and the next time you see a beautiful girl busy on her phone,

Don't wish your life was like hers, something new,

Because darling, that beautiful girl is YOU. "

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.
