Thank you for changing my life.

A Letter to My World
Casey Tegenkamp

To my world,

First of all, I will tell you that when I met you over four years ago, I never thought that we would be where we are today. We were little high school freshman, who didn't know much about the world. Now, we're sophomore's in college and I still don't know much about the world. There is one thing in this world that I do know, I couldn't do this without you.

You are the first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning and when I go to bed, I think about you again. You are constantly running through my mind and whenever I'm down, I can hear you cheering me on. You are always there to push me to do my best and celebrate my success. You are the first person I want to call when something amazing happens to me because I know you will be so excited for me.

You have helped me through so many rough stages in my life. You were there when two of my friends passed away and I could never thank you enough for that. You let me cry for hours on end and just hugged me until I felt better. You always let me call you when I have a mental breakdown, give me the best advice and remind me to breathe. You let me rant to you about everything under the sun, even when you don't understand what I'm talking about. I could never thank you enough for being there for me when I needed someone.

I know I'm not perfect. I know that whenever we have an argument, it's probably my fault. Sometimes my sassiness goes to far and I end up hurting you. It's the worst feeling in the world for me to know that I hurt you. I never want to be the reason why you are sad or angry. I just want what's best for you and to never see you cry.

It all comes back to one thing; I love you. You have made my life so much better and easier. You always know how to make me smile and remind me how much I am loved. Thanks to you, I will never question if someone will always be there for me because I know you already are. Thank you for being you.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
