Severe

Today I came to visit

I took a few of your tests

And

You told me that I had it

Severe—

Anger

All I have is anger

it boils inside of me

little things set me off

today

it was hard to control today

when usually I

Can

I don’t know

Why

It was different this time—

(...)

Nobody

Cares

about what you think

so just stay

Quiet—

Keep your

Thoughts

to yourself if they are not

Positive—

Stop talking.

Your thoughts don’t matter.

Just stop breathing.

Go kill yourself—

Daughter

you haven’t even

tried

to talk to me

since

you got home

what does that mean

what does that mean

am i a bother

or are you just

tired

of dealing with me

what does that mean

what does that mean

i am your daughter

yet

i always feel like a

stranger

in my own house—

Food

Another night without

Dinner

How many can I go?

It

is almost a challenge

Now

To see how many days

I

can go—

Hunger

I am so hungry

It

feels like some

Foreign

being is scraping its

Claws against my

stomach walls

I am so hungry

But I can’t let myself eat—

Unnatural

Why is it

That

my body is

unnatural?

But yours is

Not

and all other things

Are Not

But

I

Am—

Nerves

My nerves are getting the

Best

of me

I am so

scared

about not being

good enough

or

fitting in

or

failing

I am just so

scared—

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.
