"Rethinking"

"But we are nothing more than souls trapped within bodies."

We had no choice in what life in which we were conceived in

Born into a world where we're forced to make split second decisions that we never believed in

We view life as an overall existence

By the correlations through the indications decipher the differences between reality and just point of view

Because life was never about me and it was certainly never about you

But we're all just different beings

Set out on a path to explore an uncertain destiny

Hoping that the power of the universe has enough power to guide us to the places we hoped to be

Hoping to find what we've wanted to see

But we are nothing more than souls trapped within bodies

But when our bodies begin to decay all we'll have left are memories

Because when our body's struggle to stay alive

Our souls will continue to strive

And our souls will then begin to survive

Because we can see the beauty hidden behind one another's eyes

While breaking in the callouses that formed while digging through each other lies

But we reach the bottom and it was just another object we didn't want to find

We are all just living on this earth

As a pointless existence trying to discover our own self worth

And as the curses begin to surface

We begin to discover who we are as a person

A species that created time to fortify our presence

Because we live in the moment but only exist in the present

Everything that our souls have had the ability to explore

Is what we've pushed our bodies through hell in order to endure

Because life is just a bunch of stepping stones

Thrown out carelessly by people we've come to know

While we struggle to maneuver our way down this rocky road

We learn that we were blessed with the ability to breath

And cursed with the ability to see

The presence that was lurking deep down underneath

And we found what we wanted to find

Because our souls will continue to survive

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.
