To The Parents Who Molded Me: I'm Like This Because Of You

Mum and Dad, you have always been the light in the darkness that never fades. When I don't know which way to go, you guys always lend a helpful hand. The countless pieces of advice that you have given me are how I make it through tough situations. The guidance you give is more helpful than you may have realized, as I don't always make it clear how much I appreciate the effort you put in to make my life easier. You do so much more than you have to.

You might think I never say I love you, but those words are expressed when I eat the wonderful food you cook, or sit with Mum as she rubs my head until I fall asleep. I express my love when I do things for you, like that one time I washed the dishes 3 years ago. Actions speak louder than words. Thank you for putting up with me and showing me kindness even when I'm in a bad mood. Like any family, we don't always get along but by the end of the day we are all friends again because we can't stay mad for long.

Since I was young you two have worked to instill meaningful life lessons and values into my life. Because of you I can confidently stay behind what I believe and know not to sacrifice my good qualities even when evil becomes the norm. You help me to think straight when I get caught up with dark thoughts or have been brooding for too long. I would not have graduated from high school if it weren't for your constant support and the late nights you would spend helping me study or do homework until I finally understood the topics. And we all know how terribly long that takes me.

I admire the devotion you both have to God's word and his commandments. I struggle to understand everything but Dad is always there to break it down into simpler words. You take the time to explain any questions I have. Thank you for all the encouraging verses you have sent me over the years.

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.
