An Open Letter To My Mom
Nyah Jordan

Dear Mom,

Thank you are two words that you don't hear as often as you should, but simply saying thank you isn't enough to show you how much I appreciate you and everything that you do for me. You have been there for since day one, and I honestly wouldn't want another person by my side. Even though you're my mom first, you are also my best friend. You are someone that I can always come to no matter what dumb thing I've done and I know that you're not going to judge me.

You are the most powerful woman that I know. Even through times of adversity, you have always managed to keep your strength. You are incredibly compassionate and giving. Thank you for keeping me sane and helping me through AP classes and for loving me even when I'm being difficult. Thank you for supporting me in every single speech and debate tournament. Thank you for all of the inside jokes and gossip. Thank you so much for everything that you have done for me. I wouldn't be the person who I am today without you.

Although this article may be extremely cliché, I feel that my mom needs to hear this; I think all moms need to hear this really. I may not show it all the time, and I definitely don't say this as often as I should, but thank you, Mom. I love you. Your love and guidance has taught me so much through the 16 years I have been on this Earth. I hope that I can have your fierce attitude towards life. You're beautiful, strong and loving, and it would be an honor to be half the amazing woman you are when I grow up.

Love,

Nyah

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:

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.
