A Thankyou Letter To My Parents
Ccinform

Dear parents,

First off, I would like to say thank you. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me over my short years here. Thank you for taking care of me when I’m sick, supporting me with my many changes through life, and supporting my academic choices.

Thank you for raising me right. Thank you for raising me the way I hope to raise my kids one day. You raised me to always work for what I want, and you don’t just hand me everything I want. Thank you for making me work for my own money, it has taught me the meaning of earning a living. On the other hand, thank you for giving me things when I do need them. Thank you for sending me a little extra money because things are more expensive than I thought.

Thank you for raising me to be respectful of everyone, and to treat people with authority with the respect they deserve. Thank you for teaching me respect and patience. Thank you for raising me to be on time, be active, and be involved. For teaching me that sometimes things don’t go my way, and that’s okay. Thank you for all the hard lessons you’ve taught me; they’ve shaped the person that I am today.

Thank you for answering my phone calls and texts when things just aren’t going right and I need someone to cry to. Daddy, thank you for teaching me that the only man that you can really depend on in your life is your dad. Mommy, thank you for teaching me to be a strong woman who works for what she wants, and realizes her self-worth.

Thank you for making me home-cooked meals whenever I come home from college. To be honest, it’s the best thing to come home to. Thank you for always being at the door with a hug when I do come home.

I love you guys so much. You’ve shaped me into a hardworking adult. Thank you for giving me all of the tools to succeed in life. I know you’ll always be here for me, and I love you with all of my heart. I miss you every day that I am away.

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.
