Dear Mom & Dad

There's nothing I can ever do to thank you for all that you have done for me, but I hope that I make you proud.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am so grateful for the relationship that I have with you. For almost 20 years I have grown up watching you love each other and you love me, for the nights you slept on my bedroom floor because I was too scared to sleep alone, for picking me up from grandma's house in the middle of the night because I got scared and didn't want to be away from you, for moving me into college, for helping me pay for college, for coming to visit me just because, for throwing some money in my bank account because it's overdrawn, for all these things and so much more I am grateful for you.

Each time we're together I watch the two of you in love. Still doing all the little things for each other that help to start a relationship. I have you to thank for my high expectations. You care so deeply for one another and it's obvious; and I am so blessed to have a model of love to look up to. I hope that when I get married, you love him as much as I do. I hope that he loves me like you love each other.

Thank you for always picking up the phone, I know I call a lot and I call at weird times in the middle of the day, but you pause and take a few minutes to listen and it means so much to me. There's nothing I can ever do to thank you for all that you have done for me, but I hope that I make you proud. I hope that you are proud of who I become, that you support the decisions I make, that your qualities have rubbed off onto me, and that one day I can at least be half as good of parents as you are to me.

Love,

Your Daughter

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.
