Poetry: The Years of Inevitability

My years,

There was a time when Mother nature was the only one who made us realize what it meant to be something natural and inevitable.

Loving in a way where you were the moon that pulled me in, for there was no tide of mine that you could not control.

Loving in a way where my forests were never damp because you were there raining down upon me keeping me alive and green.

Loving in a way where the air that you pushed over my surface caused my survival, for it was something you did not even need to strive for but instead did freely and unaware of.

You were natural and did not need to try for your forces were the key to the doors of the seasons that the Mother had changing on an axis of persuasion and devotion.

You did her bidding as a content mastermind and I was the outcome of all of your work.

You painted me on a canvas with blue and green pastels and open-mindedly cascaded me across the oceans of blank space.

And every storm that you raged against dragged me with you.

It was inevitable to make my trees fall and my tides rage for you made me spin on your axis of persuasion.

If I lost a tree or control of my tides it would not compare to how much my environment would fail without you there to keep my habitat in motion.

Until the moment of evolution came where I bid farewell to your control and realized there was a desert of emotion calling my name.

In that desert were creatures that thrived in that environment of the hot waves of freedom.

Which is where you find me today, free from the control of your movement and presence.

But believe me when I say I still look to the moon and think of the pull you once had over my oceans,

And I think of the rain you gave me to keep me thriving,

And the air that you gave me to keep my canvas bright.

For in this desert I came in hopes that you would evolve into your own state of concsienceness.

And in this desert I remain until you come to draw in the sands of time that make you reflect on someting you used to believe in.

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.
