Dear Grandma, Now That You're Gone

There's so many things I want to tell you when I see you again.

Dear Grandma, Now That You're Gone
Steven Aitchison Blog

Dear Grandma,

I don't know if online letters even reach heaven, so I guess I can only pray. It's been months, but it still hurts a lot. I keep expecting emails or calls asking how I'm doing, how college is, how it's going with that boy I was talking to. I remember you used to tease me about boys and remind me that "all men are children, you just have to find the best-behaved one."

College has been great, and I'm thankful for how you've helped me afford such a good school. Since we've said goodbye, I've found an incredible group of friends who have been such an amazing support system. Classes have been going well. One of my professors occasionally reminds me of you; I think you'd like her.

The family has been good. I see you in mom a lot––I never realized how much she and I resemble you until now. Allison and I don't fight nearly as much, I'm sure you'd love to see that. I'm finally cleaning my room too (I'm sure you're laughing down at that from up there.). Dad's been well, he got another dog. You'd think he's cute, and Grandpa likes him.

I miss you a lot more than I thought I would Grandma. I wish I could have told you I love you more often, even though "I love you" doesn't really cover how much you mean to me.

Love,

Your Granddaughter

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.
