Love,

It is felt but not seen

It’s a mother’s hug, warmth and care

It’s a father’s strong shoulders where his children sits

It’s a sister’s blunt advice that no one wants to hear

It’s a brother’s joke when you need a laugh

It’s a cousin’s sleepover when you need a clear head

It’s a friend’s listening ear when you are down

It’s a grandparent’s wisdom when you have no clue

It’s a grandchildren’s innocence when you need to go back to childhood years

It’s a teacher’s modeling for future generations

It’s God’s utmost purpose for your life


Lent Season,

It’s a quiet time

To call God’s name

In 40 days

Of contemplation,

Fasting, and making clean

Of old habits and the start of being anew

In physical body, and the spirit

To get closer to the Heavenly Father

As we remember the reason why He died for us.


Learn,

We fail and get back up

Isn’t that what the purpose of life is?

We learn when we fall

Persevere when we stand tall

Pursuing our life’s call

When we discover what we like

Working with all our might

Hoping our goals are in sight

And finally achieving our life’s purpose

Because that’s what learning is all about.

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.
