To My Mom, What Will I Do Without You?
Everypixel

Dear Mom,

You are my inspiration. The one who showed me what it is like to be caring person. The one who showed that when life throws you curve balls you should take them and knock them out the park with dignity. You taught me to be the compassionate, strong willed, and some would even say funny. I don't know who I'd be today without you. You are who I inspire to be. You take life by the horns and when you are at your lowest point you still somehow manage to think of others and put them first.

You are best mom anyone could ask for and even though I yell at you, get mad at you, or tell you that you are annoying me you still manage to be the one person that I could not go without. You are mom and I love you. I had to write a paper one day about why I wanted to be a nurse and the only thing I could think of (besides the fact that I love it and I love helping others) is because I wanted to be like you. A nurse who in spite of having an awful day makes their patients very happy, talks to them like they should be talked to (with respect; no matter how old), and cares for them whole hearty.

Mom you make everyone's day better and you are a very special person to me. I love you whole hearty even when I yell, get mad, or annoyed at you. I do not want you to ever doubt that. You are the one person I can always come to and say anything to and know that you will still love me especially for who I am (a strong independent woman like you taught me to be or so I hope I am). You are my best friend and not many people can say that.

I hope that when/if I ever have children they look at me the way I look at you; with pride and everlasting love. You are a true superwoman and I am super proud to be your daughter. I know that sometimes life can be hard on you but know that when the world is crumbling around you, you will always have me no matter what. I am your daughter and I am forever proud that you are my mom. I love you!

Sincerely,

A girl just trying to survive

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
