To My Guardian Angel

You were in fact, the light of MY life.

Dear Guardian Angel,

As I sit here and look back on our time together, I realize just how special our relationship really was. I still remember the sound of my mother giggling as you joked that she was no longer your "number one" and that I was now the light of your life. You loved me endlessly, from the very moment I was brought into this world. You never forgot to tell me just how much you adored our bond. Your face lit up every time I walked through the door and I always somehow seemed to be smothered with lots of cheek-grabs and endless kisses. From eating homemade meals together to watching countless TV shows, or even the simplest things like taking a walk around the block; I was always so mesmerized by everything we did together.

As a little girl, it was hard for me to truly understand why you had to go. It took a lot of time for me to fully grasp what had happened and that we would no longer get to share our favorite pastimes. It was a strange feeling when my routine no longer involved going to see you. I didn't know what to do with myself and all this extra time I seemed to have. The air was no longer filled with your comforting hums, unforgettable stories, and that oh-so-contagious laugh. My life had completely changed.

I want you to know that you are still constantly in my heart and on my mind. Every time something good happens or I climb a new mountain in life, you're still the person I want to turn to and share it with. Pictures of us flood my bedroom dresser-tops and my shelves still hold the many keepsakes you passed on to me. College came and when I moved in, I believe you did, too. My favorite photo of us still faces perfectly towards my bed and reminds me that you are constantly watching over me, even when hundreds of miles away from home. I try my best to keep your spirit alive in everything that I do. Whenever I get the slightest opportunity, I share stories of our special bond to others, with a smile on my face and such warmth in my heart.

As a young adult, I feel as if I appreciate our short time here together more than ever. I genuinely believe that you still surround and protect me from wherever you may be; I see signs of it constantly. My hope is that you know how much my love for you has grown and evolved over the years and that everything I do is to make you proud. When anyone steps into my bedroom and comes across the many pictures and knickknacks shared between us, I make sure to let them know you were, in fact, the light of MY life.

Quanto sei bella, XO

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.
