My mom is the one to blame for who I have become because I am JUST like her, and I love it.

8 Reasons Why My Mom Has Made Me Who I am
I have always followed in my mom's footsteps (literally.. I was like her tiny shadow) and she continues to inspire me to this day. As I get older I am realizing that I am more like her than I thought, and that's okay. Here are the reasons why I am who I am, because of her:

I will never give up

My mom is the reason why I will never give up. She has been the strongest, toughest person I have known my entire life and her will to keep going amazes me.

I have learned to love because of her

She is the reason why I love. She has always shown love to me through many different ways, and she did a terrific job showing me how to love, and appreciate the people and things around me.

My love for the ocean

She especially taught me how to love the ocean. The beach has always been our escape when we wanted to flee from our hometown reality. It continues to be my escape since it is conveniently only twenty minutes away from campus (this may or may not play a huge part in my choice to go to Coastal).

My desire to be tan

Due to our love for the beach, she is also the reason why I love to tan. She agrees that living a tan life is so much more appealing than when we become pale from the cold weather. We have to soak up the rays while we can!

My sense of humor

She is the reason why I am incredibly sarcastic (it's unfortunate to come across those who don't speak that language). Dry humor is my favorite humor, thanks to her.

Being free-spirited

She is the reason why I have become independent and continue to strive on my own. This is one quality in her that I am incredibly grateful for.

My fashion taste

She is the reason why I have always cared about fashion. My mom's motto is, "the brighter, the better" and while she can rock a very (VERY) bright pink top, I have picked up her spunk through the accessories or patterns I choose to wear.

My faith

She is the reason why I believe in God. My mom was the only parent who thought it was important for her children to know about religion, and understand why we should have faith in the lord. I really cannot thank her enough for that.


Overall, I can never thank my mom enough for being herself because as she was herself, she made me, into me.

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.

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.
