Dear Mom, I Love You

Words can’t describe how much I love and appreciate you, but I’m going to try.

Dear Mom, I Love You
Mothers Day

Mom,

So, today’s your day — Mother’s Day — but really, every day should be your day. Not only do you do what you can for me and my sister, but you do the most for everyone around you. You don’t pay attention to how things are going to affect you, or you don’t care, because you’re so focused on those around you and making their lives better. That is amazing.

Basically, you’re the human version of superwoman, and I wish I could be half the woman you are every single day. Maybe one day I will be. I know there have been so many times I’ve let you down, but I always try to live the type of life you would be proud of. You’ve taught me so well — every life lesson, every scolding and every praise have taught me how to be a better woman. I couldn’t have asked for a better mother to teach me everything I need to know about life.

Even last year, when I was in the lowest place I’ve been in, you were there to help me as much as you possibly could. I made some mistakes, but you were always there to show me how to make it better. While some people have parents who would talk down to them, or not be there for them —you were there for me. I will always be the most grateful for you.

I’m not sure what I would do without you, and I don’t want to ever know. Even though you’ve taught me pretty much everything I know, I still have so much to learn from you. You’re like my best friend. Actually, you probably really are.

I don't tell you nearly enough how much you mean to me, and I don't stay in touch as often as I know I should, but you are everything to me. I wish I knew a better way to say it, because this isn't nearly enough, but I hope I got at least part of my gratitude across.

I hope your Mother's Day is amazing, and I wish I was there to spend it with you the right way, but I will soon. I promise.

I love you so much!

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.
