Single Life: A Depressing Poem.

I felt a little creative today and my emotions always get the better of me whenever I'm creative.

Single Life: A Depressing Poem.

I wake up in the morning, tired but not sad.

A new day is beginning, it always makes me glad.

I drive to the campus, I sit in a chair.

Reading my book, trying to be there.

My mind is racing, with thoughts and ideas.

But everyone's scared to remember what's real.

Iphones, and laptop's, electronics and more,

we are one-dimensional beings. Nothing more.

Never time to play, because we have school all day,

We work during our free times, just to get paid.

Conversations are only five minutes long.

The interest is certain, but never is strong.

I bury myself in what I read and what I write,

but I can't ignore smiles walking by holding hands tight.

My hands have been cold, never held for five years,

on to the sixth, loneliness cheers.

I've tried my best, to be a wonderful guy.

But every women I've met bare's a shallow eye.

Nice guys finish last, like I always will.

Because I never seem to fit anyone's bill.

Bodies of hourglasses, and flat muscled chests.

Love only applies when you look the best.

Beauty is evil because it always comes first.

You are blessed to possess it, but if not, it's a curse.

Romance is dead, love exists in the bed.

We are beautiful once, before we die, it'll be dead.

Maybe I'm wrong or I'm just depressing.

But the beautiful people still act all oppressing.

I hopelessly hope for someone in my life.

I pray to God one day, I find her. But not tonight.

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.
