My Mother, My Bestie

My mother is my best friend in many ways! We are so alike yet so different.

My Mother, My Bestie
I wrote this when I just had the best fall evening with my mother because Mother's Day is this weekend! I feel bad for the people who are not best friends with their moms.

Every year for my mother's birthday we do mother-daughter pictures. We started this tradition when I was only three years old.

This is one of my favorite traditions because I love seeing my mom and getting to be goofy with her. She is just one. of the best people I know. My mom is one of a kind. She is smart and has the best advice for me! I hope one day I can pass down as good advice as she gives me. My mom and I are different people but also very similar. We think very similarly! We both think about others feelings and try to put ourselves in the other persons shoes. This is a quality I think I picked up from my mom and I admire it in her very much.

Another very similar thing we do is closing ourselves off sometimes when things get real and difficult. Being vulnerable is a soft spot for both of us and it makes it difficult to communicate to each other sometimes. We are also uniquely different... some of these things make us not get along! This however is not a bad thing.My mother is, like I said before, sort of a closed of person. She can be vulnerable and emotional when needed, but I don't push her to be that unless absolutely necessary.I am more of an emotional person (not that my mother isn't) but this can be hard when I am feeling a lot of things at once and maybe I cannot explain everything I want to in detail.

Another different quality in us is that my love language is touch and hers is words of affirmation. To show her I love her, I want to give hugs, hold her hand, and always keep a hand on her. What she needs instead are reassuring words and thoughts to make her feel loved in the best way possible.

I love my mother so very dearly, and I cannot wait for more adventures with her!

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:

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.
