Vanishing Into Nothing

A Poem About How I Feel

36
Vanishing Into Nothing

I used to think that poems were lame, until I figured out that they can explain so much in the world. Like your feelings toward something, a different place in the world, and even tell a story. Many people I know are like me, but just give this poem a chance to explain my feelings toward something. I know it’s not normal for me to write things like this, but just give it a chance to express how I feel…

You look in the mirror,

Not knowing what to feel,

You look down at yourself,

Not knowing what you did,

You look back at yourself,

With a dazed look on your face,

You smile, feeling satisfied,

Knowing how it feels,

You feel the warm dripping down your hand,

Feeling your life run out,

You think of everything that you did wrong,

Knowing you did the right thing,

You wonder how long you have,

Just to think about the life you lived,

You see a picture of your sister,

And feel sad on the inside,

You start to cry,

Knowing she will be devastated,

You look back at yourself,

Disgusted in everything you did,

You feel the warm running out of your body,

Satisfying the empty feeling that has been inside for so long,

You collapse,

The shiny thing that did this landing next to you,

You smile,

Seeing the culprit caught makes you seem not guilty,

Your life slowly seeping into the floor,

Knowing this is the end,

Your eyes shut,

the world fades away,

You feel so relieved of everything,

And everything is... gone.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
