If you thought Rupi Kaur's first book, "Milk and Honey" was good, you'll love her new book.

She recently released her second poetry book titled "The Sun and Her Flowers," which will certainly not disappoint. Here are 17 of the best poems from her new book:

1. “you left and i wanted you still yet i deserved someone who was willing to stay”


2. “day by day i realize everything i miss about you was never there in the first place

-the person i fell in love with was a mirage”


3. “why is it that when the story ends we begin to feel all of it”


4. “a lot of times we are angry at other people for not doing what we should have done for ourselves

-responsibility


5. “tell them i was the warmest place you knew and you turned me cold”


6. “you were mine and my life was full you are no longer mine and my life is full”


7. “you do not just wake up and become the butterfly

-growth is a process”


8.“let it go let it leave let it happen nothing in this world was promised or belonged to you anyway

-all you own is yourself”


9. “wish pure love and soft peace upon the ones who’ve been unkind to you and keep moving forward

-this will free you both”


10. “and here you are living despite it all”


11. “borders are man-made they only divide us physically don’t let them make us turn on each other”


12. “i feel apprehensive cause falling into you means falling out of him and i had not prepared for that”


13. “i do not need the kind of love that is draining i want someone who energizes me”


14. “i will no longer compare my path to others

-i refuse to do a disservice to my life”


15. “learning not to envy someone else’s blessings is what grace looks like”


16. “the day you have everything i hope you remember when you had nothing”


17. “the road to changing the world is never-ending

-pace yourself”

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
