Poetry On Odyssey: What Do I Remember?

I misremember going to San Diego comic con. My sister and I only made it to one panel about drawing comics.

I misremember getting to meet Shin Lim and Colin Cloud in Vegas. They gave my sister the confidence in her art that she sorely needed.

I misremember meeting my best friend one of my first years playing softball. We've been friends for 13 years now.

I misremember my 3rd plane ride. It's the first time that I can actually remember.

I misremember my dog. The feel of her fur on my face when I clung to her as a child.

I misremember when we had a tank full of fish. One of them turned cannibal and ate every single fish before jumping out of the tank.

I misremember my first cat. He hated everyone but my dad and then he had a heart attack while we were on our first cruise.

I misremember when we got our second cat. She was given to us by one of my friends in 7th grade. She's almost 8 years old now.

I misremember my first day of college orientation. I didn't talk much to the people in my group, but no one seemed to want to talk to me anyway.

I misremember my first time watching It. My heart never raced when faced with a clown after somehow.

I misremember playing Jackbox with my friends. We always ended up with lots of funny inside jokes.

I misremember the first thing I wrote that I was truly proud of. It was a class assignment to write a realistic piece of a day in the life of a bird. I wrote about a Northern White-Faced Scops Owl.

I misremember the first time I laid awake all night on the verge of a panic attack. It happens when I start to think about my future.

I misremember the last time I went to Disney World. It was a trip with my high school band and we marched in a parade at the Magic Kingdom. Many band members had to get treated for heat stroke that day.

I misremember watching Stranger Things with my sister. We both decided that the show was amazing, but we hated Mike and Eleven as a couple.

I misremember when I decided to be a creative writing major. My dad told me to be an engineer instead.

I misremember deciding to minor in Simulation, Animation, and gaming. My dad told me to be an engineer instead.

I misremember deciding to double minor in Apparel, Textiles, and Merchandising. My dad told me to be an engineer instead.

I misremember when I graduated. I didn't start crying until I saw my sister crying.

I misremember my Cinderella-themed birthday party. Back then I had hope that I would have a happy ending.

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.
