Poem: The Heart Wants What The Heart Wants

I wanted to leave, but she convinced me that I needed him, I can’t believe I actually listened.

They say the heart wants what the heart wants, but we may not always be happy with what our hearts choose for us. If something doesn't feel right, you are allowed to say no. You are in control of your life, and I wish I realized this earlier.


They say the heart wants what the heart wants.


I think it’s fair to say,


that my heart isn’t fair to me.


I listened to her,


but I was still miserable.


I wanted to leave,


but she convinced me that I needed him,


I can’t believe I actually listened.


I run as far as I can from that man,


but she forces me to go back.


Sometimes I hate that I’m so obedient.


She made my love life toxic,


and all I wanted was to feel alive for once.


I want someone who doesn’t make me feel the weight of the world.


All this time, I thought you were supposed to feel that way.


But what we need to find,


is someone who will make us spread our wings.


Your heart thinks it knows what’s best for you,


but only your brain knows how to make the modifications.

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:

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.
