As a 23-year-old mom to a 2-year-old, one thing that has been apparent is how strong my friendship with my own mom is. Throughout the years, we've had our fuss and fights, but now I don't know what I would do without her.

Anytime I need any advice, she is a phone call away, and her calls can always make me feel better no matter what. She answers no matter what, even if it's just to hear about some silly thing I just did that I thought was funny.

The reason she's one of my best friends is that she is always there for me, no matter what. She never judges me, no matter what I do or what I say. She holds all my secrets, good or bad, and I know that she will keep whatever I tell her to herself. She's taught me so many lessons, whether it be how to not let others opinions of me get to me or that everything will work out, in the end, no matter what. And she's there to dry my tears and pick me up whenever I fall.

When my phone rings, I know it's probably her. We FaceTime almost daily, and it's weird when I go for a day and don't talk to her. We joke constantly with each other and are always laughing. Our weird relationship is so unique compared to others, and I would never want to change a thing about it.

Friendships don't always work out with other people, but the one I have with my mom is forever. And I know that she will always have my back, just like I'll always have my daughter's.

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.

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.
