10 Little Thank You's!
Disney

I came back to our dorm room one day and my roommate had posted these two pieces of paper on the bathroom door. I knew what it was the second I saw it, it was a list labeled "things I am thankful for" and had the days of November listed down them with space to write something new everyday. Neither of our lives are perfect by any means and yet everyday she would wake up and find something to be thankful for. So, it got me thinking about everything that I have to be thankful for.

1. My roommate

Without her, well I would not be writing this... but she saves my life. She is blunt when I need it. She makes sure I do what is best for me, but she is always there to put me back together when I take a wrong turn. She brings faith into our room. It amazes me that after everything she has been through Jesus is still her main focus, her rock in everything. Thank you, for being you.

2. My "Amelias"

The two of them keep my life spontaneous and I could not imagine going a day without them. They remind me that I am a freaking queen that does not deserve anything less than to be treated like one. They are also the ones I call when I need a body taken care of. Thank you, for being my twenty seconds of insane courage.

3. The OG 4

They say you will never keep your high school friends if you do not go to the same college, but we say that is bologna! These three keep me grounded and let me fly all at the same time. They know everything that I have ever done and they love me anyway. We can all go weeks without speaking and come back together like we saw each other yesterday. Thank you, for being my stability.

4. My parents and my sister

They gave me life... Along with constant support. It is kind of impossible to do life without them. They love unconditionally. They continuously shape and help me grow. My little sister inspires me to be a better me. They have always let me make my own decisions, with barricades set up to keep me on the right path. Thank you, for never giving up on me.

5. My other parents

Although it was not your God given duty, you all treat me exactly like I was one of your own. I have one biological sister and twenty adopted siblings thanks to all of you! Thank you for protecting me, defending me, feeding me, supporting me, and all those other parent duties. Thank you for letting me be apart of your families.

6. My grandparents

Thank you for the constant reassurance that I can rule the world. Thank you for always making sure I am doing what is best for me. Thank you for teaching me and giving me opportunities to learn. Thank you for believing in me.

7. My Aunts and Uncles

Thank you for being my home away from home. Thank you for constant support and checking to make sure I am never living on the lint in my pocket. Thank you for offering to fight for me, whether I am in the wrong or not. Thank you for being a secret keeper, a shoulder to cry on, a stern lecture, etc... Thank you for being everything and anything.

8. Constant inside jokes

Whether they be with friends or family or that random lady that had the same thought you did at the store, inside jokes keep life interesting. People will never understand why phrases like "word to your mother" or "uncooked chicken nugget" or "the other woman in the closet" or "I ain't got no water," are so funny, but that's okay. Thank you for making me laugh at the most inappropriate times.

9. My work buddies

Working for a phone-a-thon company is only fun, if you make it fun! Thank you for an escape from reality. Thank you for trips down memory lane. Thank you for making new memories with me. Thank you for understanding the need for an escalator. Thank you for constant laughs and a *Wondaful" work environment!

10. My editor in chief

Thank you for always encouraging me and the rest of our team to reach beyond our goals. Thank you for helping us with ideas. Thank you for doing your best despite your busy personal schedule. Thank you for answering all my "duhh" questions! Thank you for this amazing opportunity.

These are ten of the things that I am most defiantly thankful for this year!

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.

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.

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.
