The Irony of Love
az

It's funny how ironic life is
Though when experienced, one doesn't tend to laugh.
I have experienced this, and it does nothing to provoke
Even the least bit of humor in me.
And as usual, I experience it with love
Thanks to my wavering emotions.
If life is so ironic, and love is life
Then love is also ironic
And annoying
What we call a Necessary Evil
Too evil to be fathomed
And too irresistible to be left unturned
But why is love so contradictory?
So full of heartache and pain?
There is nothing worse than being in love
And not being loved in return.
Love does not have to be mutual to be love
And that alone is sickening, yet inevitable.
When I gave in to him was when he held back,
And when I stopped loving him is when he started craving me.
Love is an infinite mirror
Like a kaleidoscope of images, a million possibilities
A million contradictions
I hate love
It's as useless as a sack of burnt grass
Yet it is the very substance that binds our fragile beings
Together
When they were getting to know each other
He made her feel like diamonds
Always there for her, always ready to
Take the world apart for her.
But when she finally wore her heart on her sleeve in response
To his flattery
He withdrew himself
And left her stunned and confused.
Why is love so contradictory?
It is a matter of time before she unloves him
And does away with him from her mind.
And a matter of time before he bounces back with
Understated expectation and longing
Only to be slapped in the face with regret.
You never know what you have until it's gone
And never returns.
Love is stupid, contradictory, and blind
And as important as life itself.
God is Love, and only He is perfect.
We are far from it, and I guess that's why...
Why our love is so imperfect and flawed
Painful and wrong
Wrong, yet so right.

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.
