20 Father's Day Thank-Yous
Pic Monkey

It's officially Father's Day, the day of the year you should be given an unlimited amount of baseball games, steak, and beer. You've been a dad for almost twenty years now, so before you take off to enjoy that Cardinal's win, I thought it'd be appropriate to thank you 20 times for the decision you made 20 years ago to become a father.

1. Thank you for giving me an incredible taste in music.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC, Pearl Jam, honestly, the list can go on.

2. Thank you for always making the yummiest dinners.

Pasta, grilled food, seafood, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

3. Thank you for giving me your old t-shirts.

They're super comfy to sleep in.

4. Thank you for not getting mad at me when I steal your old t-shirts.

Well, it's self-explanatory.

5. Thank you for preparing me for college.

Because I wouldn't know how to boil my own water, right?

6. Thank you for cracking up at my horrible jokes.

Because they're really bad.

7. Thank you for teaching me how to drive.

I would've been done for if you hadn't showed me how.

8. Thank you for helping me with my math homework.

I'm not majoring in math for a reason.

9. Thank you for pushing me to try my hardest.

I really need the motivation sometimes.

10. Thank you for taking me to baseball games.

Dippin Dots galore!

11. Thank you for strengthening my faith.

I gotta thank mom for this one too though.

12. Thank you for all of the advice you've given me.

Duly noted.

13. Thank you for the fun boat rides.

They're always so relaxing.

14. Thank you for not getting mad at me when I wrecked my car.

Opossums are horrible.

15. Thank you for being my knight in shining armor.

Even when it storms outside.

16. Thank you for only being a call away.

Even when I am three hours away.

17. Thank you for introducing to me new TV shows.

"Walking Dead," anyone?

18. Thank you for always wanting to watch the movies I want to watch.

Except for when we watched Lord of the Rings- was not interested.

19. Thank you for letting me come to my dream school.

I love it more than you all could imagine.

And last but not least...

20. Thank you for being the best dad!!

I'm not kidding, there are a lot other dads out there, but you're number one in my book.

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.
