Run(a)way: A Catwalk Of Supermodels

They are not what they seem; all that glitters is cold.

Swan necks (hypnotic hex)

Stony Gaze (fashion craze)

Giraffe legs (young girl begs)

Octopus arms (perfection harms)


These ethereal beings

Embody something imagined

Something some of us long for

If we’re lucky, we shall never have it


For it is we who

Dream

Feast

Perform

Live

Simply are


Something they will never be

We are lucky


For it is they who

Strut

Twirl

Become

Disappear

Binge

Purge

Deny

Wither

Waste Away


Till nothing is left but the garment

Their souls are invisible

Not even the flash of a camera can capture them


Primp

Posture

Pose

Pout

Pathetic is how they see themselves


They’re attending a masquerade ball

Dancing in singular, straight lines

Alone

There are no partners to be jealous of

Yet jealousy still finds them


Lose a shoe

Lose your balance

Lose weight

Lose hair

Lose your youth

Lose respect

Lose yourself

Lose your mind


So many expectations

Expect to

Represent beauty

Ingest more pills than food

Feel empty

Feel inadequate

Still be envied

Feel ugly

Feel flawed

Feel nothing


Expect to be expected


It’s all about fashion (yet they show little passion)

Gait is deliberate (their expressions inhibit)

Barely there (they don’t care)

No choice (no voice)

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

181616

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.
