Why I love To Write

Why I love To Write
The Discarded Image

I did not have an easy time as a teenager, because instead of getting super powers when I turned thirteen (like kids in movies do), I got a mental disorder. I kept silent about for four years until finally, I was sick and tired of lying and keeping secrets from people. For all of those middle school years, I saw no point in life, and I hated every second of living until one day in seventh grade when our class read a book. Then my class in eighth grade read another book. Then the summer after my freshman year I read three books. Then finally came the Christmas of my sophomore year and I got tons of books.

Books soon started filling up every corner of my bedroom but also my head. I always had a book with me because now I was enjoying my life for the first time ever. Towards the end of my sophomore year, in my English class, we had to rewrite the end of a book for our term paper. Writing that paper was the most fun I ever remember having, and ever since that paper I have been writing random things in my journal or really anywhere.

When I came to college and I found out about Odyssey it sounded interesting and something that I would like and then I got in. I love writing every week, and I want to keep writing for my whole life. The thing about my writing is just that; it's mine, and it's the first time that something has ever been mine.

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.
