Poetry On Odyssey: Ode To Purple

Purple, purple, purple everywhere!

Classical music sheets lying on the chairs

Beethoven and Bach played with conviction

Jazzy Canon in D or Ode to Joy

Inviting the brave, the noble, and kind

Slow waltzes throughout hallways in rhythms


Rich and middle couples’ feet in halls,

Step one, step two, step three and four, rocking

Calm, cool, loyalty and compassion ensued

Warm soapy aroma or sexy wine smell

In bathtubs, relaxing with a cup in hand,

Homey, cozy bed, in a little space,


A comforting fragrance leads to spirits

Nutritious grapes in fruit baskets eaten

My aunt’s house on Thanksgiving Day’s feastings

Sweet, light, airy, crunchy bunches of heaven

Grapes in pancakes, grapes in pies, breakfast sensation,

“The Color Purple” theatrical debut show,

Based on Alice Walker’s novel plots

Friends hand in hand, entertainment on a carefree Saturday afternoon


Matching purple clothes, a sign of enduring friendship

England’s Buckingham’s big gates stood,

Royal palaces, luxury dining are possible travel goals

Summertime, or study abroad, my friends

Ambition, royal obsessions from afar


Pope Francis winning disillusioned hearts everywhere

Saint Peter’s Square balcony preaching love

Gentle, kind, accepting man representing Jesus,

Spiritual calming effect on his “flock”

Butterflies surface in springtime, perching

In flower’s petals sucking up nectar’s milk,


Carefree wings beat to the song of Mother Nature

Freestyle dances in the sky, brightening up the day

Word games buzzing up the competition,

Scrabble, what’s the word again, my friend?

Adults and children alike, take pleasure

Stringing tons of words together in families

Self-motivation books aim to inspire,

“The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens”

Teens, adults, or just people looking for a higher self-esteem,


Life is too short to dwell on the small things,

Purple, the color of creativity,

Sweet souls waiting to make impact on others

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.
