I'm The Girl That Talks To Her Mom Every Day

Yes, I'm that girl. I'm the girl that you see walking from class to class with the phone pressed up against her face saying, "Hey Mom! Guess what just happened?" or you hear the ending of, "I love you mom talk to you again tonight." Some would say that I'm wasting my college life away by constantly talking to my mom. That somehow talking to my mom makes me uncool because I tell her everything.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

People have told me that now is the time to let go of your family and find out who you really are as a person. I've also heard, "Why tell your mom everything when this is the one chance to get away with anything?" I'll tell you why. My mom is my absolute best friend. I never have to worry about my mom talking bad about me behind my back or worry that she'll leave me. I know she has my best interest at heart and she would never intentionally hurt me. Because she is my best friend I want her to be updated on my life just like all of my other friends.

Now granted, I won't be telling her about the pound bag of sour patch kids that I ate (sorry mom) but everything else I want her to know. I don't feel obligated and I don't feel like I'm dependent on needing to talk to her to get by. Since she is my best friend why wouldn't I tell her everything? I know she'll never judge if I make a mistake and I know if I succeed in something she will be rooting me on.

So yes, I talk to my mom every day and I wouldn't have it any other way. She's encouraged me to be a better person and lifted me up in the hard times so there's no way college will make me let go of someone so special.

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?

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.
