Poetry On Odyssey: The World Through My Eyes

Overwhelmed with lies.

Poetry On Odyssey: The World Through My Eyes
Michelle Seitz

Looking back at my old poetry brings back such nostalgia. Here is a piece I wrote back in high school relating to struggles with one-sided love.

The world through my eyes

Overwhelmed with lies

Underwhelmed by you and I

Meant to be

For eternity

But honestly

I’m glad we’re over

Now I’m sober

From the addiction to your love

I heard the angels cry from up above

I just gave my heart a shove

And ran away

Not just for today

It’s the price I pay

I just cannot stay

With you

I know your love is not true

What else can I do?

After all we’ve been through

I’m so glad I have the chance to start anew

I never knew

My heart could beat so fast

For something that’ll never last

Years and years have past

The spells have been cast

The time we shared was a blast

But we contrast

Each other so much

Especially with every touch

You were always a crutch

For me when I was faced with such

Hardship that came off as Dutch

I doubt we could make this right

I don’t want another fight

I’m being blinded by the white light

Our deadline’s pulling in tight

The end is nowhere in sight

Tonight

Is our last night

And albeit

I cannot deny

My love for you can’t run dry

You better know your shit don’t fly

By me, so I guess this is goodbye.

Don’t ask how or why

But I would rather die

Alone without you than to have youl lie

Next to me so don’t be shy

Try

To yell at me, but I can’t deny

That I’ll get by

No, I won’t even cry

After we say goodbye

So goodbye!

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.

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.
