Poetry on Odyssey: Love At First Sight

Love at First Sight

Love is never an instantaneous feeling.


Love at first sight is a false sense of security,

A false sense of hope, reality,

An idea that causes people to seemingly

Fall in Love.


But falling in love is not as simple as looking into one's eyes for the first time,

Seeing the immediate twinkle, the rich depth of their eyes, the way that they seem to just

Smile..

One seems to melt, feeling as if their new lover's eyes tell the story they've always thought,

They fill in the gaps, the holes they always knew were missing,

They hold the key to the glory, the richness, the enjoyment of love and commitment!


But that is because they show one's own reflection in them,

One does not see the other in their eyes, rather, themselves.


Most believe that the first glance is the most important,

It shares a story,

A story words often times refuse to tell.


But does that not mean there is darkness hiding in the lightness in their eyes?

Love at first sight is not truly love,

It is simply the idea of love,

The fact that someone seems to recognize what one has wanted all along,

When in truth,


It is anything but.

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.
