A Letter To the Most Selfless Person I Know
http://thesutherlandcenter.com/slc/images/Mom-reads-daughter.jpg

To my precious mother,

It is you that is the most selfless person I know. I just want to start off first by saying, thank you. Thank you for always looking out for the best in myself and my two brothers. Having three kids can be tough, especially financially and mentally with any situations or problems that arise in our lives, but you make it all look so easy. Thank you for how you raised my brothers and I. You are always there for each and every one of us, no matter the problem or situation that arises. You never give up, no matter how bad we screw up. I cannot be more grateful for that. I am so blessed that I came from such a loving, caring, and most importantly selfless person. No matter what, throughout my whole life and my two brothers, you have given us everything in this world and more. You never said "no." You never said "no" to a vacation we wanted to go on, a sport's opportunity, or us wanting to do something fun with our friends'. You always found a way for it to work and to have us go. You gave us everything that you didn't have as a kid, and that is truly heart wrenching. How much you care about seeing myself and my two brothers pursue our dreams and fight for our futures, and your right by each and every one of our sides, in order to make those dreams happen.

With you never saying "no" to those things and for always being so beyond involved in each and every one of our lives, it has made me realize how I want to be with my kids and family someday. I hope to be half the mother you are someday. You literally drop the world for us and even more so that you are a single mother. Strong is an understatement when it comes to you. I don't know how you do it with all of the craziness we put you through throughout the years. You are always looking for our best interests at heart.

Thank you for teaching me to be independent and to be my own person. Thank you for teaching me the good of life and all it has to offer. Thank you for being such a positive and optimistic role model. Thank you for being my hero everyday, because without you I wouldn't of made it thus far in life. So many people go throughout life, not having a mother by the their side like the way you are for me. I hope you truly know even though I can be the biggest "bitch" sometimes, that I truly wake up every morning thinking about how blessed I am with everything this life has given me, and that it all comes back to you. Because without you, none of this would've been possible.

I love you so much, Mom.

Love your one and only daughter,

Gabrielle <3

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.
