Wanting everything but waiting for absolutely nothing

To the soul-searchers and the wanderers,

How does one change if they never drop the remains of who they once were? Yet, how does one change if they do drop the remains of who they once were? A set of paradoxical questions I often ask myself. Who am I? I have no answer, I have no idea who I am. I like to figure that I am what I believe to be true.

I believe in love. Not the lustful type filled with evil intentions. The pure kind, filled with donut cream and courage. I believe in the power of spiritual faith, but I also believe in fallen angels. I believe in self-empowerment, in freedom so large it leaves you trembling. I believe in magic. The kind that brings people back to life, grants wishes and makes unicorns appear without their horns. I believe in what Esther said about dying when one must die. I believe that God is good. That he loves us, and that is why he allows us to choose if we want to love him in return. I believe that candy really did taste better when you were still a child; that humanity’s destiny is held in the stars. I believe that life is a game, a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you are still breathing, so you might as well sit back and enjoy it. I believe in the healing power of music, that the sadness you experience watching movies is real, and I believe in the words I bleed onto blue lined paper. I believe that these things recreate me, molding my chameleon soul over and over. I am the moon, kissing the night sky. Wanting everything but waiting for absolutely nothing.

How will you know which parts of yourself have been dropped and which parts were left? How will you know when your colors are finally broken? Scattered across the grave of your fantasies.

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:

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.
