An Open Letter To All Of The Hardworking Moms Out There

Thank you for being such incredible human beings. You are all superheros. You are all incredible women. You are all role models. You are all amazing.

The power of what one woman is capable of amazes me, and I wanted to point out a few things I love about you, Mom.

Strength

The world could be coming to an end, and you would still have a smile on your face. Even though it seems as though nothing is going right and times get hard, you still have a reassuring set of mind that everything is going to be OK. You never show when you're sad, mad or upset because you never want me to worry. I can always count on you for being positive.

Love

Your love is everlasting. Your love is powerful. A simple hug or kiss on the cheek from you instantly makes my day 100 percent better. Your warmth, kind-hearted spirit, compassion and kindness make me fortunate to have you in my life.

Drive

Did I mention your insane work ethic? You have several jobs as a mom. You have a career, you are cook, you are a maid, you are a a therapist, you are a nurse, you are an athlete, you are a tutor, you are a comedian and you are a mom.

Patience

The amount of patience you have is like watching an episode of "Ripley's Believe It Or Not." Sometimes, I literally can't believe the amount of patience you hold on top of the patience you already have. You are calm, cool and collected. You don't yell – well, maybe sometimes when you get really frustrated, but that is a rare occasion. You think before you speak and apply your actions. You're there to listen, give advice, help when needed and just be there.

Reassurance

No matter how much of a bad day your children may have had, if we missed a shot from the free throw line, if we failed our test, if we can't figure out what shape goes in what shape box, you're always there to tell us, "You did a good job." You are constantly finding the good in every situation and telling us how proud you are.

Discipline

It's not easy to tell us what do when we don't want to listen to you, or being a parent instead of a friend. But you know where to set the boundaries and how to show us who's boss because that's you. Without your constant reprimanding, telling me wrong from right, I wouldn't be the person I am today: appreciative.

So thank you for all you do, even though at times it is goes unnoticed. This is a letter for you, because your constant love, strength and patience is always truly appreciated. It is what has helped me become the person I am today. Your hard work and drive makes you a superhero. No one can do what you do on an everyday basis.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
