Poetry On Odyssey: Wasted Time

Busted on the ground. No wonder I feel all over the place

Some people have the unfortunate reality of putting effort into people and getting nothing back and it's not exactly a "good time" emotion. In fact, it kinda hurts, a lot; especially when you're made to feel like there's a possibility they do care. This is a poem I wrote on that:

Wasted Time

I don't hate you.

I hate the fact that I wasted so much time on you

It was never about making you feel something

Or even giving me a chance

It's the fact that all you had to say was no...

And you didn't...

Making me feel like I was worth something in your eyes

When really

You didn't care if you ever spoke to me again

And for what

To feel valued?

To feel some glimmer of hope that someone you want to might care?

You love saying no one cares about you

Raving about how people dislike you just because of your appearance…

Ignoring people that loved you not just for that

But also who you were aside from it all.

And no matter what I did

You showed me every effort

Was pointless

And I was the fragile glass that fell for you

Hoping to be caught

But busted on the ground

No wonder I feel all over the place

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.

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.
