Poetry on Odyssey: Fantasize

"Let's justify our actions, quit foreboding."

Here is a short poem and my general view of our world today. The focus of the poem is to say that our current reality is far from the wanted "fantasy."


What if there were a world with no commotion?

And what if there were no such thing as fear?

Let me make one thing clear:

There cannot be sadness or racket.

For those are the rules, no exceptions.

Where will we ever be able to find such a place on this planet?

The problems lie in our own depth perceptions.

This society will never be familiar to me.

Maybe someday instead of beating each other,

We will act like we are part of one another.

Or maybe when hope is needed,

Tears vanish and we finally feel completed.

But not just as an individual, but

Together, as one person.

At least, isn't that the goal?

We're not determined,

But even so,

How can we even change what's already been broken?

It's not impossible but difficult

To release all the faults we've been holding.

But if we did, that means success, not just a miracle.

Let's justify our actions, quit foreboding

As if there's no chance or too difficult

To fix, but instead, keep going.

There's no acting as if all of this is opposite from reality

Because this world is known as a fantasy.

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.

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.
