The constant feeling of judgment from others is hard to ignore when you only want to be happy

The Fear Of Others And Ourselves

We have not really been okay. And we really do not understand why. We do not understand why people turn their heads away when we try talking to them. Or just simply ignore us to begin with. We try be okay. We try our hardest to be there for anybody that needs it. It is hard. When all we do is push people away because we feel like they are just going to hurt us. But in the end It is us that gets hurt because we are the ones left being and feeling alone.

Not only are we judged when we try talking to others, we feel the whole world cave in on us. So we stop talking because it's hard. It is hard to talk to others when It feels like the everybody just wants to turn away from you. It is like having people but not wanting to go to them because you do not want to waste their time. It is like holding everything in just until you cannot anymore. All your emotions are piled into so many different things. Just for them to burst when you cannot hold them in anymore.

It is hard to cope with, when you push others out, and expecting them to know you need someone to talk to. Maybe just to tell someone hey or anything inparticular because having someone there is so important. Being able to cope with the happiness of your friends presents and going home later to cry is hard.

We feel like everything is a lie. We are so tied down because others look so annoyed by our presents, so we try not to say much. We try our hardest to make friends, but they come and go and we never can just find someone to be there. Or be good friends with. We can never just have a bestfriend because they choose someone else over us. So we get rundown and feel useless. It is like going to someone but nobody listening.

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.
