To My Mom, My Forever Best Friend
Skyler Anderson

Dear Mom,

Let me tell you, I haven't written this article for one main reason, it is the hardest to put into words. I am so grateful and thankful for everything you do for me. I wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for you. To start, I look just like you, so thanks for that, because I think it's pretty freaking cool and you are pretty freaking beautiful.

Thank you for caring for me. I have been a mess for a long time, so thanks for cleaning me up when I am broken, which is a lot of time. Oh, and thanks for paying the bills that come with that. Thanks for being one of my biggest supporters. You were at all of the competitions and meets, you paid all those bills too. Thanks for being the house that my friends came to for sleepovers.

Thank you for listening to me rant on the phone. Thanks for giggling for hours on end. Thanks for buying me lots of clothes. Thanks for showing me the life of a teacher, because it will be my life soon enough. Thanks for pushing me, even when I don't want it.

I think my biggest thank you is for showing me a love for travel and cruises, this one is a big one. I know as I grow older and form my own opinions, we don't always see eye to eye, or when life gets busy, we don't get to see each other as much as we would like. However, don't think for one second that this means that you are forgotten or that I don't love you as much as when I was younger because that couldn't be further from the truth. I love you more than you know Mom and everyday I hope to make you proud. So thank you Mom, I know there is no way to say it enough, but I hope this shows it a little bit better.

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.

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.
