I Will Live

Though you’d love your breathing to stop and want your life to reach an end in an instant. But remember, times like these are the best ones to be alive.

I will live. I will shine like nobody ever has. You see those stars up there? Ill be like these one day, even better, and you, you’ll be marveling at my glow.

I will live. I will be free like nobody has ever dreamt of. Ill be hovering your sky like the clouds, and you, sitting in the swamps with the hereditary slavery, youll be thinking of the freedom that you can neither touch nor taste, but I will always be your hope, your path to freedom.

I will live. I will be standing in a way no one can even think of. Youll be praising the strength of a tree, not having the slightest idea that I’m even firm than that.

When the stray waves of that mighty ocean will touch your feet and think for an instance to engulf you, Ill be there, holding them back.

When your tears will fall uncontrollably, and by a sudden gush of the air, theyll all dry up. Remember! That air will have bits of me in it.

When life sucks all the life out of you, youll be feeling helpless, but one beautiful sight will make you feel lively again. Trust me! Youll see me standing there.

When youll travel to far off places and then suddenly, something will bring a little, sweet memory to your head. I know, that memory will be accompanied by my face.

Life is cruel my dear! But were left with only one option: to live. We cannot circumvent our entire life in any way. You think of a trick to ditch life and itll find you at the very next turn you take, making you happy for an instant, forcing you to utter I feel lively, and just like that youll find yourself living again. But this, this is the sweet-cruel face of life, isn’t it?

There will be tougher times too. When youll think that death is the only thing that can soothe you. When you will see no light, no hope, not even any sense in living. When a dark cloud of hopelessness will be following you wherever you go. The days will be full of despair. No night absent of tears. At that moment too, you will not have any alternate path to look for. Though youd love your breathing to stop and want your life to reach an end in an instant. But remember, times like these are the best ones to be alive.

You might be thinking how can you live with your heart quenched?’ But the heart does contract at times, doesnt it? These times will only teach your heart to go further. These times will test your limits, and when these are over youll not be the same. You might be broken at places but dont look there. Therell be scars on your body, but dont get bothered by them. When you look around, youll see the world will not be the same either. Those scars might appear as flowers to some. Those shards of your body might be the precious jewels for someone.

So live, my love. For we only live once, why not stretch it to forever?

But," sitting in that graveyard I asked him once more, just like every other time he used to finish a similar lesson. What if youre gone forever, Dad? I knew he wouldn't answer me now, he couldnt.

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.
