Poetry On Odyssey: Because Of You

It was raining the night you left me

God was shedding his tears and washing away the sorrow that seemed to envelop me as I watched your back leave through my front door.

Agony overcoming my body, knees trembling with the loss of you.

Feeling as if at any second, I would collapse into a ball of udder destruction.

My tears running down my face burning my cheeks like acid rain falling from the clouds above.

The taste of salt now on my lips that are quivering ever so slightly.

The feeling of my heart breaking into thousands of shattering pieces able to rip through my flesh and kill me right then and there.

I never saw the end of us coming,

After all, we were just getting our lives together started and planned out.

That cold, wet dark night that you left you covered me in endless shame and disgust with myself.

Making it seem as if I was the one to blame for our demise.

Treating me as if I were some demonic creature sent from hell by Satan to destroy you.

In the end, you were the destroyer of me.

The destroyer of love and happiness that could have been internal.

The only thing that saved my life from you that rainy night, was the presence of God and my never-ending trust and love I have for him.

When you turned your back on me, he was there to pick up every piece in which you caused to crumble to the floor.

No amount of love could compare to his that he had for me that night.

Showing me how toxic you truly were,

Showcasing that the devil works in mysterious and unimaginable ways to hurt those who follow our one true King.

With the now burning of my cheeks and puffy eyes, I sit with trembling knees and shaking shoulders hoping by some miracle that this was all just a terrible dream.

That I would wake up and everything would be fine,

That you would somehow come back to me,

And we would be happy like we always promised one another that we would be.

Sitting there in silence with only the sounds of my ragged breathing and the sniffles of my runny nose,

No matter how bad you destroyed me in that moment in time, I felt whole.

For God was with me, embracing me with his love and glory.

That was the night you left me.

When the rain turned into hope, it washed away every single sin and corrupt feelings I had because of you.

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.

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.
