Family.

The only love hate relationship you can appreciate. Yeah there’s times when they will drive you insane but they will always be there when you need them. No matter what’s going on you know they will be a phone call or a text away. My family is crazy but I love them all so much. Yeah there’s times where I can’t stand them but that’s family. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of family. Between soccer and everything else I do in life they are always there to support me.

I know if I need to talk to someone I could always call and they will be there for me. There’s times where I rather see my friend than be around my family but I know I only get to see them a few times of year because of college and everyone is busy with their own lives. I’m glad that I am so close with my family because if we weren’t I would have the support system I have.

I’m always thankful for my crazy little cousins because they make me laugh and they can be adorable sometimes. They may make the holidays hectic but without them our holidays would be as enjoyable as they are. Yeah there’s time they drive me crazy but what little cousins don’t. I can’t believe all of us are growing up and doing great things. I don’t know what I would do without this crazy family, I wouldn’t want to call anyone else my family.

Here’s a shout out to my family for being so amazing, without you all I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Thank you for supporting me with everything I do in life and I’m so proud to call you my family. I cant put into words how I love you all, but just know you all mean so much to me.

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.

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.
