I can never thank you enough.

To my teachers and professors who have lead me to the person I am today:

Thanks to you, I have learned so much. This isn't just for the professors and teachers whose classes I enjoyed, but also for the ones who have challenged me and have helped me become a better student. I have a handful of professors who I will never forget, some I still communicate with today, and some who are actually no longer teaching. Without you, I may have never learned to network or form connections. In a way, you've helped develop my confidence because now I'm never afraid to approach a professor.

To my favorite high school English teachers, you know who you are, without you I may never have learned to speak in front of a crowd with a clear voice and confidence. I may never have decided to someday show my writing to anyone but myself without your guidance. My writing may never have improved to something that I am proud to call my own and share with the rest of the world.

To all my science teachers and professors, thank you for making me love the subject of science and helping me see I was made to live and breath in the field of science. Without you, I may have never realized that the thing that interested me most was biology, and that chemistry is the worst subject on this planet (I respect you, chemistry majors and professors).

To my college professors who have lead me to the career path I'm following. You are some of the people who have encouraged me to be open to all possibilities and outcomes. Without you, I might have never tried out different internships, applied for certain scholarships, or taken other majors into consideration. You are some of the people who have helped me understand that it's okay to have more than one major, or a minor or two, and follow your dreams for purpose and joy, rather than just for money.

Thank you to all my teachers who have helped me succeed.

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.
