Everyone needs a person they tell everything that has happened to them; good or bad.

Some may choose for that person to be a best friend, parent, neighbor, or their doctor. Whoever the person is, they somehow know exactly what to say when you need them to.

There are so many lessons my mom has taught me throughout the years of listening to her and taking the advice given to me. I never imaged I would need or ever use in my lifetime.

1. Never grow up too soon.

You have your whole life to worry about the future and all of its mysteries. But at your age now don't worry about that, just focus on the present and be the best you can be today.

2. Don't listen to the haters, self-centered, shallow people that will try to tear you down layer by layer.

The only things that you should listen to is what you think of yourself and how your doing in life.

3. Your beautiful just the way you are.

You don't have to change for anyone or anything. It doesn't matter what size you are as long as your happy and healthy nothing else matters right now.

4. Always lend a helping hand, if you are able to help others in a positive way you shouldn't have to think about helping.

You don't know what that person has been through and how they got to the point that they are, just ask to help.

5. Be true to yourself and your family, don't let the negative people tear you down and make you think you need to be someone else.

As long as you are true to yourself others will either love you or hate you and you can't decide which one.


Thank you, Mom, for teaching the most important lessons I could never have learned without your guidance and knowledge. I will always be in debt to you from these lessons but I hope that in the future I will be half the women and mother that you are and teach my daughter the same lessons.

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.
