Dear Mom, Thank You

Dear Mom,

I'm sorry for all the bladder kicks I did while in the womb and the pain you've gone through. I'm sorry for being a sassy toddler and an even sassier teenager. I'm sorry for the sleepless nights I've caused you and the anxiety attacks I've given you.

But thank you.

Thank you for the puppy I begged for, the movie nights I wanted and all the times you painted my nails. Thank you for the shopping sprees and the candy from the grocery store every trip. Thank you for the vacation to Disney World and all the concerts you got tickets to.

I'm sorry for staying out all night and for making bad decisions. I'm sorry for slamming doors and rolling my eyes. I'm sorry for being lazy and letting laundry lay around.

Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for never abandoning me. Thank you laughing in the car with me and making stupid jokes. Thank you for every meal you've made and every bill you've paid.

Thank you for being by my side when I became a mother. Thank you for loving my baby with your whole heart and guiding me along the way.

Thank you for watching her so I can sleep. Thank you for rocking her to bed when she wont go to sleep for me. Thank you for the clothes, formula, diapers and toys you buy. Thank you for giving us a roof over our head and making sure we are safe.

But mostly, Thank you, God for putting my life in her hands and handpicking her to be my mother. Thank you for letting me learn how to be a mom from the best one I know.

Dear mom, thank you.

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.
