Dear Dad, Thank You For Everything You've Done For Me

From telling me the story of my birth on my birthday every year, to seeing me graduate this past week, you have always been there for me and supported the decisions I have made. Though I have made some wrong decisions, and you have called me out on those decisions. Those little things you have done for me have molded me into the woman I am today, and I cannot thank you enough for that.

Whether you are making me laugh or cry, you were always there. Through the good and the bad, you always had my back. You understand me in ways I don't give you enough credit for. All you want is what is best for me and though we have had our disagreements about what exactly is best for me, we always are able to figure out a compromise or listen to what the other is trying to say.

No, I don't help with yard work or any of your projects, and no I will not shave my head, but I can promise you this, yes, I will always talk to you about politics or what is going on in the world, yes I will talk and help out whenever I can with understanding you and the world around me. The conversations we have are second to none, some are silly and others more serious, they will always hold a special place in my heart.

You never fail to make me smile, and I hope I do the same for you. You have helped me so much and I thank you for everything you have done for me. Happy Father's day dad, I love you to the moon and back, and no matter how much you bother me, that will never change.

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.
