The Apocalypse

This feels like the end of the world.

The Apocalypse

The apocalypse and I used to be close. We used to spend so much time together that people wouldn't recognize me unless I was with her.

I used to trust the apocalypse.


And my naivety let the apocalypse take advantage of me.

First, the apocalypse pushed all my friends away.

I told the apocalypse to chill, but the apocalypse gets jealous when I spend more time with other people than her.


The apocalypse disrespected me because that's what she does, and I let her.


The apocalypse lied to me.

She took my hand, looked into my eyes and said she needed me! And I thought I needed her too.


Then the apocalypse stole me from myself, dressed in my clothes and tricked everyone into believing she was me.


Last week, the apocalypse convinced me to lay in bed for hours on end. She guilt tripped me into thinking I would be better off doing nothing, wasting away with her.


The apocalypse finds every way she can to ruin my days, sometimes weeks, maybe months.


The apocalypse needs a reaction out of me to survive.


The apocalypse never left me alone when I was sad, but she never comforted me either.


I do not want to be friends with the apocalypse anymore, I want to kill the apocalypse.


The apocalypse took my home, my peace of mind.

She walked straight through the front door, knocked over all of the picture frames, rummaged through the fridge, gutted the place clean from the attic to the basement, then burned the whole building down.


The apocalypse does not love me, because the apocalypse destroys everything and can only offer the end of the world.


I know the apocalypse isn't good for me, but sometimes she tries to pull me in closer again.


When the apocalypse finally ends, I will still be here.

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.

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.
