There's a million different things to call yours.

Grandma, Grammy, Meme, the list can go on.

I call mine my Nana. This is a thank you to the woman who not only impacted my life but raised an amazing woman who raised me.

My mom's mom is the greatest woman in this world, and you can't change my mind otherwise. My Nana has been through hell and back and is one of the most independent people I know. She's got fourteen grandkids and shows the same amount of love and affection to each and every one of us. She would give anything to see her children and grandchildren happy.

She doesn't make the most money, but she makes sure to give each of her grandchildren a set of pajamas for Christmas Eve. She'll buy you little trinkets that remind her of you. She makes sure that each of her grandkids has pencils for back to school, and a big warm coat for college. She never asks for money when she needs it. She's selfless and loving. I admire her for that.

She is the funniest woman in the entire world. She knows how to draw a crowd, and can make your sides hurt from laughing.

She'll learn current trends and practice at her kitchen table so when you visit her next, you can laugh at how "hip and trendy she is". She'll tell you stories for hours. She'll show you amazing music and sing with you in the car. She'll show you her favorite shows and sit with you on her pristinely cleaned couch and shout out the answers to Jeopardy with you. She'll do anything to see you smile.

She doesn't get as much recognition as she deserves. She is the most loving and caring woman and has impacted my life so much. I have shared so many laughs and sweet memories with her, and I am forever grateful for the role she has played in my life. I know she'll be reading this because she supports me in everything in life I pursue.

Nana, thank you for being my rock. My shoulder to cry on, someone to laugh with, and jam out to Creedence Clearwater Revival with. You mean so much to everyone's life you have been in contact with. You are my sunshine, a true queen, and as you would say, "love ya always!"

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.
