Dear Dorm Moms

Thank you for being the best moms a girl could ask for!

Dear Dorm Moms,

I honestly don’t think I would have survived this past college year without you. It has been a year of ups and downs, and hopefully, this summer will give us a break from all of that. You have helped me so much and been there for me through it all, and for that I thank you. So here is a letter dedicated to you.

You taught me how to cook. We spent the year making our “roommate dinners” every week. I am so grateful for all of the patience you had with me. I’ve learned some valuable tips and tricks from you that I can use next school year!

You kill the bugs in the house because I'm too much of a wimp to do it. All I have to do is scream and yell, "Mom, a bug!" and one of you will be there to kill it. If it wasn't for you, those nasty little things would still be in our dorm.

You were there for me through my breakups. You showed me that it was okay for me to be single and that, no matter what, you would both be there for me. You also supported me when I wanted to get back into the dating game. Even though I might act a little crazy sometimes, you are always there to cheer me on (or tell me when I’m being crazy).

Thank you for celebrating with me. We celebrated birthdays, exam grades, anniversaries, and more! You two make every night fun! We can turn an ordinary school night into the time of our lives. Whether we are just talking to each other across the hall from our rooms or sitting downstairs watching movies, any time is amazing as long as you are both there!

You are okay with the fact that I am goofy. Through all the silly Snapchats and bad puns, you both put up with me (even if I make you roll your eyes). You still are there even when I have tried to “Guess what? Chicken butt” you for the 20th time.

You compliment me and make me feel loved. You tell me good things you like about me when I have had a bad day. You hug me when I need it on days where I am feeling anxious. You both remind me that God loves me and has a plan for me in His “big book of everything.” I am so very blessed to have two dorm moms like you.

I can’t wait to live with you again next year!

Love,

Your Dorm Daughter

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:

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.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

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.
