A Long-Awaited And Overdue Thank You Letter To My Mom
Bailey Welshans

A long-awaited letter to my mom

A miracle from God is what you called me

A blessing from above

So beautiful and such a fragile human being

Because I was yours no pain was too great

You’ve given your everything so that I could become me

You’ve given your life to me through these years

You’ve sacrificed your time

You’ve sacrificed your freedom,

You’ve sacrificed your wants

All so that I could have the best.

You have picked up my broken pieces

I too wish we could go back to the simpler days

You brushing my hair and tucking me in every night

I will cherish those memories for the rest of my days

I still remember that big book you used to read every night

I was always so eager to cuddle with you

Today your love has just grown stronger

You put forth all your effort to help me achieve my goals and let God do the rest

Even though it hurts you, you have let me make mistakes to grow

You have sowed your dreams into mine

You have been my guide

I will never take for granted the special bond we have

It is only possible for a Mother and Daughter

I thank God for each day we are able to share

You have been my rock for these hard years

You have taught me from lessons you’ve learned

I hope to be half the woman you are

I hear what people say about you

Driven, beautiful, and hardworking

That’s what you are

My mommy dearest you will always be

My mother so loving and so loved by me

My gratitude stretched far beyond the sky

You will forever be my gift

Love your daughter

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.
