Dear Mom,

I can't begin to thank you; for always being my number one supporter, for always being my backboard and for always being my rock. Thank you for teaching me the meanings of unselfishness and benovelence. Thank you for teaching me to always see the good in others, and the true meaning of compassion.

Thank you for teaching me to always work hard, persevere and to never give up. Thank you for always remaining strong. Thank you for your endless dedication and support. Thank you for always keeping me grounded, through all of the ups and downs. Thank you for teaching me that independence and stepping outside of your comfort zone is difficult but well worth it.

Thank you for the spontaneous "joy rides" to the beach in the summer, when we've both needed a day to escape to our favorite place. Thank you for teaching me to appreciate the little things, such as collecting our favorite pieces of sea glass strolling down the beach. Thank you for your sacrifices.

Thank you for being my hero. The one I can't go a day without calling. The one who always is there to wipe my tears and the one to always make me laugh. Thank you for your outgoing, and warm personality, one of the many traits everyone admires of you.

So thank you, mom. Thank you for reminding me every day of how grateful I am to have a mom, best friend, and role model like you in my life. Thank you for your incredible courage. Thank you for always remaining right by my side. Thank you for always expressing how proud you are of me. Thank you for your endless and unconditional love. Most importantly, thank you for being you. I love you beyond words.

Sincerely,

Your 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.

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.
