Poem of the Month: Hurricane

You are a whirlwind.

Poem of the Month: Hurricane
Daily Mail

It’s hard to comprehend you

For one second, you are a hurricane;

Constantly changing and swirling your emotions everywhere

And another second later

You are as soothing as the ocean breeze

And we are in sync like ocean waves crashing into a pale white sand.

It’s hard to understand you,

When one day your heart yearns to conjoin mine

And another you could watch me walk out the door for the last time,

And you wouldn’t fucking blink an eye

If I said I never wanted to see you again.

You reside in the shadows that follow me while I stand out in the sunshine,

You’re only there when the light fills up my eyes

And disappear as soon as the light is gone

Where the only things that blankets me is regret.

I regret my eagerness to your 2am open arms

When I should have waited to see how open you would be at 1pm

Where your open arms turned into denial.

Nobody should have to fight someone’s soul

To turn a “you” and “me” into a “we”

But here I am

Gambling on our hearts at the worn out poker table

And even though you won’t bet on us,

I’m all in.

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.

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.
