An Open Letter To My Mom, Happy Mother's Day
Ali Makinen

Dear Mom,

As my sophomore year is winding down, I can’t help but think that I cannot believe I am halfway done with college already! It seems like it was just yesterday you were waving at me from the gymnasium stands at graduation, or helping me pack and prepare for freshmen move-in day, or hugging me a tearful goodbye, when you and Dad dropped me off that first, scary day. With Mother’s Day season, I thought it’d be the perfect time to express my appreciation and love for you and all you do for my siblings and I. You’re truly a superhero to us.

Never did I think I’d miss your home-cooked meals, fresh, warm bed sheets, and most of all, a calm and listening voice whenever I needed. Sure, you’re just a phone call away, but it’s not definitely not the same. On days that I miss you and home more than usual, I can’t help but think how blessed I am to have someone and someplace to miss so much! I mean, God gave me the most selfless, caring, kind mother; what did I do to deserve that?! Thank you, for raising me right. Thank you, for always being my shoulder to cry on. Thank you, for blessing me with perfect, wonderful siblings. Thank you, for encouraging me to be independent. Thank you, for always being on my side, even when you knew I was wrong. Thank you, for supporting all my aspirations in life. Thank you, for being my biggest fan, always.

I know we’ve had our share of disagreements and stupid arguments in the past, but in hindsight I see that those things will happen, for we are so similar and you’re always looking out for my best interest. Although you may not believe it, being away from home has given me a whole new appreciation for it, and I can’t wait to be home for an entire summer. I love you endlessly, Mom, and I will always, always need you. I hope our relationship always remains strong as ever, no matter where life takes me. Happy Mother’s Day; you of all mothers deserve the most amazing day.

Love always,

Your daughter

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.

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.
