This is my moment. No one understands what my senior year of college means to me.

Poetry on Odyssey: Rediscovery
John Bhatti

Ready to rediscover myself,

begin again,

the last time i felt this way things went insane,

I lost my heart and wasn't strong to protect myself from the fallout and pain,

I am at the end of one of my greatest journeys,

but at the beginning of my happy,


Ready to be happy again,

ready to take it all in,

ready to make this my magnum opus

have my moment

the moment I have tried to recreate for the last three years,

it's almost mine, I can almost see it,


ready to have my moment,

this time no will take it away from me,

it's mine,

i was denied last time but no will take away my dreams this time,

this is mine,

i deserve my moment, more than anyone

after all my fighting and suffering I deserve to have my moment

I have fought to survive,


i am letting go of the past,

focusing on the now,

I deserve to be happy,

the last four years have been a transformation,

I have become so many different things,

I have seen so many different things,

good and bad,

but the best thing about it all is

I am finally me,

I have found myself,

this about me, i have spend to long fighting I am ready to enjoy my life,

for once I will find my own path, I am not going to follow someone's else path,

no one is going to tell me how do it,

i am not going to follow anyone else's blueprint it's time for me to do my own thing


I am ready to begin again,

to discover myself,

have the do over I deserve,

this will be my moment,

I am going to write my own perfect ending,

this time no one will define my end,

I will end things my way not on anyone else's rushed terms

I will be self defined, this is my story I am going to finish things my way.

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.
