​Poems Exploring Life's Deepest Questions​

1) What Do Ghosts Think?

What do ghosts think?

After a rough day, they can't have a drink;

doomed to float perpetually celibate and sober.

Are they sad that their lives are over?

Do ghosts miss eating burgers and sweets,

or is there good ghost food to eat?

I look at myself in my mirror above the think

and can't help but wonder, "what do ghosts think?"

2) What Language Do Dogs Speak?


What language do dogs speak?

If you responded "dog language," that's really weak.

I don't think English is what they're speakin',

but maybe they know Pig Latin, or even Korean.

I'd like to talk to my dog, Wally,

to ask him why he once tried to kill me

a few months ago,

when he jumped up and turn on the gas on the stove.

He did it without a peep

and just before I went to sleep.

"WHY DID YOU DO IT?!" I once asked him, grabbing his cheeks,

but I couldn't understand him, because I don't know what language he speaks.


3) Why Does My Grandma Think I Should Be A Journalist?

Why does my grandma think I should be a journalist?

I've only written 3 newspaper articles ever, but I can't tell her this!

"Comedy as a career, are you sure?"

she asks me, as if newspapers are more secure.

I don't know why she thinks this way, but

I love her a lot, so I'll keep my mouth shut.


4) Why Doesn't My Mom Think I'm Funny?

Why doesn't my mom think I'm funny?

Why don't my jokes make her day sunny?

I crack myself up, that means something, right?

But I will keep trying with all of my might.

Why can my brother make her laugh so easily?

Could it just be that I lack hilarity?!

...Nah, that can't be true.

But I'll make her laugh one day, even if it's the last thing I do!


5) Why Doesn't My Little Brother Let Me Into His Room?

Why won't my little brother let me into his room?

I open his door, walk in, then boom.

He throws a shoe at my face

and says, "Get away, this is MY SPACE!"

He doesn't wanna hang with his cool big sister?

To him I say, "YOU'RE MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE, MISTER!"

I can be annoying, I do admit.

But I'm sure one day I'll grow out of it.

I mean, I'm only 19, so basically still a baby.

So in a few years, my brother will want to hang out with me, maybe!


6) Who Really Killed JonBenét Ramsey?

Who really killed JonBenét Ramsey?

The biggest question of the last fifth of a century.

I have an idea, and I'm 99% sure I'm right.

Without a doubt, the killer was Suge Knight!

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
