Poetry On Odyssey: Spectrum

I see you for all the tones you weren’t before.

The worstmost vile title

known to humanity

explains a damsel in disguise

and a damned soul shielded in lies.

It is placed upon heads

-on a constant swivel

with paranoia in some gusts of seasons

and curiosity of trust in others-

like a gilded crown of thorns

that drives the sharpened points

of mirroring opposition

anywhere but home.

And yet,

it defines the greatest affirmation

to confidence.

Yourself.

I believe

as far as people can be

showered with rainbows,

those that walk the lines

of many color variances

deserve as much as everyone moral,

Mortal,

or mythical to see they

Themselves

are receptors of endearing light.

I believe

as far as people can catch

the ever-changing shades of life

in their constantly-darting eyes,

they exude sharpness in their naked gaze

be it out of protection

from impurity

or projection

of connecting inner ideas of beauty

but they deserve to find whoever it is

that’ll make them melt into softness

and crumble into a mound of stardust

even if it isn’t anyone at all.

I see you

for all the tones you weren’t before

and I am impressed

you coalesce through

the many hues of this world.

I see you
and I accept you,

spectacular spectrum.

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.
