Mom, Love You Forever

And I'll like you for always.

Mom, Love You Forever
Kelly Mueller

Dear Mom,

I just want you to know that you are the strongest and most courageous woman I have ever known. My biggest accomplishment is knowing you are proud of me and all the things I do while I'm away at school.

I remember when I was little, I used to always say that I did not want to go to college but you always insisted that I didn't really have a choice, and I was going anyway. Thank you for pushing me to always succeed and put in all of my effort in everything that I try to do. When I was learning to read, you told me that I needed to learn to read because you won't always be there to read the menu for me at restaurants. And even though I now know how to read, I still wish you were here with me to read the menu.

We might have our ups and downs, but I know that you will always be there for me no matter what. You usually know what is best for me, even if I do not want to believe you. We fight and we irritate each other but I know without a doubt that you love me and always will.

Mostly I just want to use the opportunity to say thank you. You have sacrificed so much so that I could have as many opportunities as all the other kids and I am extremely grateful to have a mom like you to help lead me through life. Everything you have done since I was born was for me and I do not know how to say a thank you big enough. I appreciate everything you do for me and all the people in your life. You have been the best mom that I could have ever asked for and you mean the absolute world to me.

Love you to the moon,

Kelly

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
