Letters To My Guardian Angels
The Telegraph

It’s days like today where I miss you all the most; remembering stories I’ve been told and some of our last days together. You would think that me being so young when you all left that some of the memories I had would have faded, but they are clear as day. I know you all have been watching over me and guiding me in so many of my life decisions. I just wish that I could see and hug you all just one last time.

Poppy, we’ve never met but Mom has told me so many amazing things about you. I know you wouldn’t have known anything about any of the sports I played, but you would have learned and loved watching all of us kids play. I just want to thank you for bringing me the best mother in the whole wide world. She is everything I could have ever wanted. And I know that you made her into who she is. Believe me I get it, cancer sucked...a lot. But when you left us all you were going to become our angel in the sky. So thank you Poppy for being there for me even before I was born, thank you for being the reason I always smile when a cabinet is open in the kitchen, and thank you for being an every day inspiration in my life.

Grandma Kling, or Max as my dad loves to call you. I have a couple really clear memories with you. I might have only been four years old when you joined Poppy in heaven but your impact on my life was and still is huge. The most vivid memory I have is when Jacob (my brother) was born and you came to watch Kat and I (my sister). We stood on the back porch, the one on grandma and grandpa’s side, and waved bye to Mom and Dad as they went off to the hospital. We then played the most amazing game of dress up in my entire life, with feather hats and flower dresses. I don’t remember much more because you were sick so soon after but the time you spent loving us and caring for us is something I will forever be grateful for and I know you still are from up above.

Grandpa Jack, you are just the best. I doubt I ever told you that when I was younger. But you 100 percent were one of the greatest people I’ve ever known. You just made everyone feel so special and loved. I think about you the most out of all the people I’ve lost, not that I love anyone more than the other. I just feel like you would have wanted to know about my day, and talk about sports and boys with me. We could have continued to do our Saturday morning routine of eggs and peaches and casually upgraded to coffee and pork roll. You are one of the most important people to have been a part of my life, and I miss you every day. However, I know that you served your time here with me, after first serving our country, and being an amazing husband and father. Miss you so much, but I remember how hard your battle was and I know you’re in a better place.

Grandma D’Amico, I know we had the most time together but we were the farthest apart. Looking at it now, it is because we were so similar. My dad always says I remind him of you. I know you both didn’t always get along but you always loved each other. We have similar needs and requirements of others; I guess I am just saying we’re both hard to love. I want you to know that I will always love you and share your love for travel and adventure. Thank you for showing me the world is mine for the taking and nothing can stand in my way.

To all of you, thank you for raising my amazing parents and helping to form us kids at an early age. I am forever your little girl, so please keep watching me grow, I need it.




Love you all,

Your little Hannah.

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.
