An Open Letter To My Momster:
Myself

Dear Mom,

I know we have our good days and our not-so-good days, but at the end of the day, everyday, I will always love you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you for everything -- from raising me on your own to always being there when I need you. Thank you for always being right, even when I wish you weren't. Thank you for warning me about those "friends" that you had an iffy feeling about. Thank you for listening to me rant and yell about all of my problems, and thank you for playing devil's advocate to give me different perspectives. Thank you for always doing the dishes because I don't feel like it. Thank you for not getting too angry when I came home from the animal shelter with the cutest little puppy, and thank you for, eventually, warming up to him (which didn't take long.) Thank you for always pushing me to be the best that I can be, and for yelling at me when I don't reach your expectations. Thank you for playing both parental roles. The older I get, the more I understand how lucky I am to have you as my mom; I now realize all of the sacrifices you made for us, and for that I cannot thank you enough.

I'm so sorry

I'm sorry for all of the times I've fought with you. I'm sorry for all the times I've been a brat. I'm sorry for all of those times I ignored you. I'm sorry for those times chose friends and materialistic things over you. I'm sorry for not listening to you when I probably should. I'm sorry for staying out later than you told me to. I'm sorry for not being the best child, but more importantly I'm sorry if I've ever dissapointed you.

You're stronger than Superman

Like I said before, we have our bad days pretty frequently, but I still love you more than anything in this world. No matter what I say when I'm angry with you, you are the best mom anyone could ever have. It takes a lot of strength and an abundance of love to raise two children all on your own. To top it all off, you handled it like a champ. You raised me and BroBro all by yourself with no help from our sperm-donors whatsoever; you gave us everything we needed and mostly everything we wanted. You did everything in your power to ensure us that we were going to be okay -- something no other super-hero could have ever done. You are, by far, the strongest and most dependable woman I have ever known. You truly are my super-hero.

...You were right...

As much as I really hate to admit it, you were always right. Looking back, it truly blows my mind about how many times that you've ended up being right about people about situations. You were right about almost all of those "friends" that you said you didn't trust. You were right when you told me that those shoes wouldn't match that shirt. You were right when you told me that I needed to stop for gas even if my car told me I had 45 miles left to go. You were right when you said everything was gonna be okay. It's almost like you have some type of future-seeing capabilities. Even though I know you're right, I always end up finding out the hard way. To be honest, I don't know why I don't listen to you more often.

You are my everything.

You have chewed me out, and you've bailed me out. You're my best friend, and you've been my worst enemy. You taught me some of the greatest lessons life has to offer; you have been there for me when noone else was. Everything I am is because of you, and everything I do is for you. Trust me when I say, I want nothing more out of life than to make you proud.You're the most amazing person I know. You have done everything in your power to make sure that i was well taken care of. You've worked countless hours just to get the things we need. You made sure I always felt loved and at ease. You are my favorite person. You are the best mom in the world. I love you to the moon and back.

Love always,

Your Baby Girl XOXO

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.
