THANK YOU TO MY GRANDMOTHER

You're an inspiration and a great Spartan.

THANK YOU TO MY GRANDMOTHER

My grandmother is 90-years-old and is an incredible woman. “Me-Me” has been an inspiration to me for as long as I can remember. Her parents immigrated to the United States and were proud of this country and the English language; they worked hard to provide for her and her five brothers and sisters. Her background made her the person she is today.

I know that Grandparent’s Day was last month, but here’s to you, “Me-Me:”

Thank you for showing me the true meaning of courage. When you were diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor three years ago, you quietly and with great strength accepted the diagnosis. You bravely faced brain surgery and more than 30 days of radiation treatments and never once complained.

Thank you for always celebrating every important milestone in my life and for making me feel like the most special person in the world.

Thank you for the special traditions that we share together, from dying Easter eggs to decorating our Christmas tree.

Thank you for being my most enthusiastic cheerleader even when I made mistakes at piano recitals, struck out in softball or couldn’t finish a cross country race because of an injury. I could always count on you to say the right words to make the disappointment go away; I still do.

Thank you for all the sweet gestures you do for me. The cards you send and the messages you write me mean more than you’ll ever know.

Thank you for sharing in my Michigan State school spirit, for being an unofficial Spartan and even decorating your yard with a Michigan State flag! You may not have had the opportunity to go to college, but you are one of the wisest people I know--I’m sure you would have been a Spartan if you could have gone to college!

Thank you for being a wonderful role model as a woman, mother and grandmother.

Thank you for being who you are, “Me-Me.” You’re the best.

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.

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?
