See You Soon

When goodbye is too permanent.

"Goodbye" is the suckiest word in the English language.

The last time I heard that word was when my father left for the store to get cigarettes, and he never returned.

When the doctors said I should come and say my last words I refused to. It wasn't because I didn't love you as much as I said. It was because I knew I would see you again. "Goodbye" is such a permanent word and yes, death is permanent too; but one day we'll dance in the graveyards while our friends tell stories of our ghosts.

I know you will always be with me. Our treehouse has survived every hurricane the universe could throw. We have crashed but never burned. We have cried but never drowned. No matter what, we survived. This is just a minor setback. Death is just another adventure, right? You aren't leaving.

You're just getting started on the next campaign without me.

Yes, your characters will be left voiceless, but I will take care of them. Your final nat-20 will be immortalized in museums as the best roller the village had ever seen. I will make sure the world will immortalize you as you are in my heart. While your thoughts may have been senseless you still managed to build and destroy empires in a matter of a few words.

This is not goodbye. This is a see you later.

A promise to make it never be a final word. I know you'll always be looking over my shoulder, one way or another. Always laughing when I needed you to keep a straight face. Always leaving wild ideas scattered about my room. You can keep my hoodies, I know it still gets cold in the winter.

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.
