The Bee

Known for it's sting, It's knees and for being busy

But not buzzed about for its contribution of life

Spread of fertility and beauty

Or the positivity and light in the darkness of it's appearance

While its song may be unnerving it's duty is honorable

It defends as we do

Reacting when threatened

Inflicting less pain than humans do on a daily basis

The Queen Bee

A regal woman who deserves her title

Rebuilds entire colonies by herself

A feminine independence all woman want to gain

We take her name to show power, attitude and to be admired as she is

Hexagonal Honeycombs

In line with Venus

Love and Communication reflected in an insect's creation

Unlike us in our nation divided

They bond together in one common goal

They are a piece of the lovely things in life

In flowers, honey and nature

Though small they symbolize much that is great

Rather than recoil, Respect

The bee serves as a reminder to us to take the sweetness out of life and use it towards our future

As a reminder that while we must always be productive and moving forward we must also stop and smell the flowers

As a reminder that while not everyone may be fond of you, you are still a vital part of the world

That there is a higher purpose in life for you to serve, and things for you to achieve

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:

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.
