Giving You Thanks

There is a reason you and I are no longer among each other, and all there's left to say is thank you.

In a crowd full of people, I seek the face that I know better than my own. I seek the comfort that just a glance over your skin gives me. A comfort I cannot find though the simple things I enjoy in this life. You became my cure all in a matter of years, in a matter of months. I thank you for the opportunity to know the man you will become. I thank you for giving me the strength of a thousand armies just in the peak of your smile. I thank you for all the simple things you taught me to enjoy. I thank you for letting me go without a fight. You let me slip through your hands with no hesitation, and now I wake up every day wondering why. The might of this upset has lingered over my skin. I can feel it beaming down on me without any remorse for its actions. I can't imagine my life with you in it anymore. The part of my life with you is over, and the new part of my life began without you. This became a difficult thing for me to endure, a life without the only person that lit my world on fire. You challenged me in ways I couldn't challenge myself. You encourage every dream I had ever had, no matter how small. This was where the lines started to blur. I began where you ended. I lost myself trying to make certain you remained your happiness. Losing myself to your friendship was the easiest thing I have ever done. I filled a hollow shell of myself, with goals of finding myself later on. Later became sooner than I ever thought it would.

I was outrageously angry with you, the fire you set in my life, set inside of me. A pit of resentment has settled in my stomach that I can't seem to quench. My mind, my body aches for a reliever I can't find. I left a half of myself with you, and I don't want it back. You tainted parts of me I wasn't aware of. I hold resentment toward you because I know you're fine without me while I'm drowning in feelings I don't understand. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you, for all of the things you have exposed me to, for all the things you gave me the courage to take part in. Our final "see you laters" have now turned into to goodbyes, and I will cherish the memories I have made with you forever.

I would lastly like to thank you, for always being my safe haven. No problem was too big for you to solve. No upset too big for you to sooth. Thank you for being a shining light through all the dark skies. Thank you for letting me go when I wanted to do was stay by your side.

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.

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.
