El Espacio Improbable de un Haiku (Unlikely Space of a Haiku) by Sergio Inestrosa is a lovely collection of haikus which are written in Spanish by author Inestrosa and translated into English by Margaret Young. Both authors are professors at Endicott College in Beverly, Massachusetts.

The book follows aspects of life everyone can relate to: childhood, love, heartbreak, and nature. The book's one hundred haikus encompass many feelings or memories in one's life that readers can connect to, making this "poemario" one that readers will enjoy. Inestrosa also uses strong metaphors and literary devices in his work, giving a strong impact on the reader. Giving objects like eyes the ability to talk while lips are silent is one example.

Nature is also expressed greatly in many of the pieces in the book. Inestrosa personifies the sun in multiple instances, as well as using nature as a connection to the past and the terrible things which are being done to nature, such as trash covered beaches. The book shows the author's strong love for nature as well as giving readers the imagery needed to paint a picture of the words on the page.

Throughout the book, there are many relatable pieces for all readers in both Spanish and English, bringing cultures together. The ability to have Inestrosa's amazingly compelling haikus in both English and Spanish allows more readers to experience the poemario as well as the ability to see both languages next to one another, helping people in their ability to understand other languages. Sergio Inestrosa is an amazing author who brings everyday experiences to life through his Haikus. This is a must-read book for anyone who loves short poems and more so if you enjoy the Spanish language. The book is available for purchase on Amazon!

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.

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.

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.
