From Eden

Her: His voice was engraved into my skin.

From Eden

Her: His voice was engraved into my skin.

The rhythm of his laugh was in tune with my heartbeat.

We were crafted by the hands of God before our own creation, just to exist in tempered time against the chains of solitude.

Him: She was Beauty in mastered form.

She was a message stripped from my skin and delivered to my soul by way of grace.

I was a crippled mass of flesh and bone with a missing rib and an empty heart, void of the perfection she bore.

And then Time carried her smile to my spirit and cracked the merciless walls of my soul until there was nothing left but dust.

Her: He was Brilliance and Honor and quiet sound.

He was my bloodstream, and I was his heart.

My existence was tethered firmly to his, and his to mine, a grand gesture of a love that neither of us could have created or crafted with our own hands.

A love that existed outside of us and within eternity.

Him: I stand in reverential dismay at our entwining futures and our unremembered pasts.

We were born for the other, a present example of tangible purpose.

Her: It is impossible to enumerate the reasons we were bound to be one. But only one reason mattered:

We were loved.

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.
