When he speaks my heart breaks to pieces;

Falling on the floor, shattering into shards

That become trapped within the carpet's soft hairs--

trapped until swept up by an overused broom

with flared bristles, worn down from

the cleaning of past miseries.


When he looks at me I become aware--

over aware--

of my surroundings, looks, and state

because it is only him that can

make me feel so important

within thousands.


It's only him that can bring out my voice

if not through song, on paper;

making me pour out my thoughts as easily as

rain on a Sunday evening; gently moving

with the breeze and following the sun

until it sets beyond the horizon

where I hopes lie and words escape.


Its him that influences how I belt

the depths of my heart to the world--

unapologetically and fearlessly.

Next to him I've never seen clearer;

A new day is on the horizon

and for the first time

I'll be able to finally bask in its sunlight

see its beauty within its flaws

and pick up the pieces of my heart

left behind in the carpet hairs.


Its because of him why

I feel complete.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
