To my future daughter

Dear future daughter,

To my future daughter

I hope you don't lay awake at night, wondering why you're not enough. I hope you don't ever cry yourself to sleep because some boy is too stupid to see how amazing you really are. I hope one day, you get to see how I see you. Strong, beautiful, and independent. I know things get rough. I know you don't understand why you're here or what your purpose in life is, but trust me. You'll figure it out. I can tell you one thing, it's not to sit around and cry over some mean girls who are completely irrelevant to you. It's not to sit and miss out on life because a boy isn't texting you back. No. Your life is meant to be fun and adventurous. Your life is to be young and full of stories for when you're still old. I hope you never have unpleasant thoughts. I hope you never wonder if anyone loves you at all. And let me tell you, even when the world seems against you, you will always have me. You will always have your family. No matter what. Life gets tough, but darlin so are you. Keep your head up. Don't let anyone push you down. Walk with confidence, and I assure you, God will help you weed out the good and the bad in your life. If, for whatever reason, you can't put your trust into someone, ALWAYS put your trust in God. He will show you the correct way every single time. You just have to listen to Him and watch the signs He gives you. Baby girl, you got this. No matter what curve ball life throws, you'll hit a home run. Keep you're head up baby. Mommy loves you oh so much.

Love always,

Momma

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.
