12 Things I Will Never Stop Asking My Mom
Courtney Knudsen

Growing up, I was constantly arguing with my mom. In the younger years, it was mostly about her making me brush my teeth. Then as I got older it was cellphone usage, going to school and coming home late. As I got into my 20's, I realized that I am definitely not as grown up as I though I was going to be back then, and instead of her calling me to check up on me, I'm the one calling her, usually with plenty of questions in my arsenal. Here are a few things I will never stop asking my mom:

1. How long after expiration can I eat _____?

We all know food doesn't really expire on the expiration date. I need to know how long I can hang on to my milk before I will actually die from consuming it.

2. Will you call _____ for me?

I hate making appointments. I hate canceling appointments. I need a personal secretary to do these things.

3. Who is our insurance company?

And where's the card? Which number is the policy number?

4. How long will my car last before I have to get the oil changed?

Every 3,000 miles is just a suggestion...right?

5. What should I eat for dinner?

I have rice, half a tomato and some yogurt. What can I make?

6. What's my blood type?

I know I have asked this at least 10 times and I still don't know what it is.

7. Can you help me pay for _____ ?

New running shoes? Parts for my car? Groceries?

8. Is it normal if _____ ?

Followed by a gory description of something gross my body is doing.

9. What's the Netflix password?

Why can't I remember it?!

10. What's your billing zip code?

No reason...just taking a survey.

11. How often do I need shots?

Because according to WebMD I think I have polio.

12. When are you coming to visit me?

Because I miss you. Like, all the time.

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.
