12 Reasons Why I Am Thankful For My Mom
Isabel Shepard

Moms are a gift from God. When a situation feels grim, I know I can count on my Mom to light the way. We laugh together, sing together, cry together, and even fight together...and I wouldn't have it any other way. Here's to our moms!

Mommy dearest, I want to thank you for all that you've done for me. Here are 12 things I want you to know I'm thankful for...

1. You've made me the woman I am today and shaped my mind to know that I can conquer whatever crosses my path.

2. You are my rock in a completely unstable stage of my life.

3. You're the one person who understands me best.

4. When I've had a busy day, I'm never too tired to sit and talk with you for hours on end.

5. You mean so much to me and when you're away, it makes my heart sad.

6. You're always on my side, even when I'm far from right. I want to thank you for being my greatest cheerleader.

7. I love that I can confide in you and expect nothing short of the best advice.

8. I want to thank you for all of the times you had to listen to me nag about school, friend problems, boy problems, and everything in-between, and didn't leave me without any solution.

9. I want to thank you for your positivity and high hopes. The world is at my fingertips when I talk to you.

10. You make me feel like I can do anything and be anything.

11. You are the truest friend I have ever had, and are always looking out for my best interests.

12. I want to thank you for always taking care of me and making sure I have everything I need in order to succeed.

13. I love you.

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.
