An Open Letter To My Mom

Dear Mom,

Every mother and daughter have a different kind of bond. I would like to think of ours as an inseparable friendship because we have our ups and downs but nothing will ever break us apart. You are my idol and who I strive to be like when I am older. You have taught me several things when I needed help from drama, life lessons, values, and how to be the best version of myself. I always have someone to go to when I need something and I am very thankful that you are only a phone call away.

I just want to say thank you for everything you do for me and I appreciate all the small things. Thank you for always being my pedicure buddy. Thank you for always being my number one supporter. Thank you for being my role model. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and past experiences with me. Thank you for allowing me to be so blessed with an amazing childhood. Thank you for taking me around the world with our family. Thank you for allowing me to be myself. Most of all, thank you for being the one and only person I am lucky enough to call mom.

What we have been through as a family just shows how strong we all are. We have a little more appreciation for life and I know I try to live each day to its fullest. Our family has been blessed to have experienced life the way we have and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us. All I know is that if I have you by my side, then everything will be perfect.

I hope you had a great birthday weekend and a really special birthday. Happy birthday and I really wish I was able to spend it with you but I will see you shortly after. I love you, mom.

Love,

Lauren

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.
