To The Ones Who Are Waiting
Molly Butler

Dear Loved One,

Whether you have passed years, months, or weeks ago I hope you know you are always on my mind. I don't think I'll ever lose the pit I have in my stomach when I think about you being gone. I'm not sure where you're waiting, or how I'm going to get there but, I'll always have faith that when the time is right, we'll meet again.

Losing you was something so difficult for my young mind to grasp. It's not fair that you had to leave before I was even able to decipher the meaning of death. Trying to understand something so gaping is like driving into a thick fog and trying to find your way out. Death is complicated, it's sticky, and for lack of a better word, death sucks. It sucks that the people you love, have to eventually leave this world but, you should always have faith that you'll meet again.

It's hard to think that one day you were full of life and the next you were gone. I know you fought for every moment you spent with that and I could not thank you enough for that. I'll never shake the feeling of actually realizing you are permanently no longer here with me but I find peace in the fact that you are free from pain. I know you're waiting, and I know that when the time comes I will feel whole again. I hope you're happy, I hope you're free from pain, and I hope you know you're missed.

Love,

Your Loved One

We all have a loved one waiting for us, and I hope we can all have the chance to meet them again.

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.

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.
