It's never not about you.

Poetry On Odyssey: Writing About You

I wanted to hurt in my head,

Place your body in a separate bed.

Leave your head somewhere else.

People would need to find it now.

I've hated you so much.

My heart wants to keep you away.

Hope you're happy with someone new.

Not really sure where you're at now.

Looking up at the sky.

The stars are beautiful, unlike your mind.

I used to think you're my favorite kind of human.

I'm glad you no longer are.

I still think of you sometimes.

Don't know why.

I guess you used to be my favorite what-if

You're just another face I can forget about now.

You've built my esteem so high

I can help it soar through the clouds

Used to thank you but,

It's really my drive and motivation to do so

Popped up in my feed, wondering how I am.

Didn't respond, just left her on read.

Ran outside to breathe in the crisp autumn air,

Without a second to spare, your face was there.

Not inside my mind, but on a missing person's page.

As my heart sank,

I dropped an envelope I was about to send to you.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Was it real, or was it my imagination?

I saw you one hour ago.

You were practicing your dance moves in your backyard.

I watched you without saying anything.

You spun around so gracefully,

I didn't dare to disturb your peace.

It seems someone already had.

I hope you're ok.

I hope you're somewhere alive, breathing,

Because I need you to be.

I wanted you to see how happier I was without you.

I wanted to see your face without actually catching feelings.

I wanted to feel the love we once had.

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.
