Poetry On Odyssey: Silly Girl

My dear silly girl, what are you hiding behind your eyes?

Poetry On Odyssey: Silly Girl

My dear silly girl,

What are you hiding behind your eyes?

Is it how you sit alone and try not to cry?

Is it those thoughts pounding in your head of how someday you hope to be wed?

Dearest silly friend,

Will you ever say, why you sit there and stare because you can't look away?

You can't look away from the girls with big hair and their silly ol' friends,

Or the boys with tan skin whose very words make you want to sin.

Please, silly friend,

Do tell me one thing...

Tell me what makes you cry and fight instead of smile and dream?

Don't you dream, my silly girl, of flying with birds in a place where words no longer hurt?

Come and share silly friend,

Share your story with me.

The story of a girl who no longer dreams.

My silly girl, my angel in the sky.

My lovely little bird, no longer does she fly.

Dear silly bird,

Come back to me.

Come be with your friends in a land of dreams.

Turn your light on and flap your wings.

Don't let others crush your dreams.

Please, my dearest friend,

Let me tell you one thing. There are many who will try to dash your dreams.

Some people are hateful and some people don't care.

Sometimes our own voices will cause us the most fear.

Don't stop dreaming or trying to fly.

No matter how hard it gets

You should always, have to try.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
