or Here's Enough Sap to Make a Bottle of Syrup.

A Sonnet to Warm Your Heart
Aurora Public Library District

Yes, I know Valentine's Day is over, but love is timeless. So in the spirit of romance, here's a sappy sonnet I wrote. Enjoy!


Sonetto

When in the woods my ears hear something sweet

I look yonder and lo! A flowing brook.

My heart grows twice in thoughts of true love’s heat

As tow’rds I walk to gain a better’d look.

In mind so sure I come to understand

From Heav’n pours these waters unto earth.

And giving life to all who dwell this land

This brook exudes a charm of awe and mirth.

So soon the world around me fades away

As from the clasps of stupor do I slip.

But joyous thoughts of nature’s boon still lay

In conscious bed of mind and merry lip.

The day so forth I take with open arms

As thoughts of you my heart it surely warms.


Whether you have a significant other or you're a single pringle, you are loved and you are special. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Stay you. Stay true. Stay awesome.

That's all the sap I've got.

Until next time!

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:

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.
