Mom’s are the greatest, they are super humans who can fight off the bad guys, and deliver a delcious plate of cookies just at the right time. They can read minds, have eyes in the back of their heads, and have unlimited love to give out. So every year we dedicate a day, that should be everyday, to our moms, the reason we came into the world. Well half the reason, but today is their day. Thank you mom, I know I try to say it everyday, especially when I'm calling you because I’m freaking okay over a test, or need to do my W4’s, or what to wash a piece a clothing on. But just know I probably couldn’t function without you, and that you are my hero, my biggest influence, and number one supporter. I love you.

  1. For holding my hand when crossing the street
  2. Teaching me how to talk
  3. How to walk
  4. Listen to others
  5. To Play nice

  17. That you’ll change more than expect
  18. You’ll get past that awkward stage, hopefully…
  19. Tell your family and friends you love them, because you never know when you'll see them next
  20. Call your grandma
  21. And your mother
  22. And your Dad
  23. That God has a plan,
  24. Its okay to not like something
  25. It’s okay to not know what you want in life
  26. But don’t be too picky
  27. You get what you get, and don’t throw a fit
  28. Life is precious, don’t let one person stop you from having fun
  29. Always dance and sing it out
  30. Especially when cooking and baking
  31. Also, feeding me the best food and desserts
  32. Mom’s homemade chocolate chip cookies are a must
  33. Buying me a dog that is now your favorite child
  34. That even when times are tough you can make it work
  35. Trust yourself
  36. Trust your family
  37. Trust your friends
  38. Learn from your mistakes, and don't make them twice
  39. HUG, give all the hugs you can
  40. Dream BIG
  41. NEVER settle
  42. Thanks for my incredible amount of sass, sarcasm, and dry humor
  43. My antics
  44. Giving me a reason to believe that I can do whatever I set my mind to
  45. How to live and stay alive
  46. To stay out of trouble
  47. And most of all that no matter how badly I may mess up, you will always love me.

So give your mom, grandma, great grandma, or any other mother-like figure a big hug and kiss not just on Mother’s day, but everyday. I hope this mother’s day is everything you wanted and more. Happy Mother’s day!

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.
