Thank You, Mom

Mom,

I know I don't say them enough, the "thank you's", the "I appreciate you's"... it should be said every day because you are a wonderful mom, seriously.

Thank you for all the little things you do, they do not go unnoticed even if you feel like they do. I know how hard you work to make sure everyone's happy, healthy, and where they should be. (Doctors appointments, school, choir practice, baseball practice, dentist appointments, you name it.)

You played the role of both parents for most of my life. With that, you have shown me how to be more independent and strong myself. I would not be the person I am today without you, you have taught me so many valuable life lessons without even realizing it. You put me first for everything, no matter what. The sacrifices you made in order to make sure I am happy and am in the best possible place, is something I will always be grateful for.

In these last (almost) 20 years of my life, you have been my biggest supporter. No matter what I thought I wanted to do or try, whether it was a sport or something that seemed so not me, you always were there to support me no matter what. I want to thank you for always being my biggest fan in the crowd, I wouldn't want anyone else on my team.

Although at times it may seem like we are complete opposites, I catch myself doing things where I say, "Wow, I am definitely my mother's daughter"... Wait - there's no nex gen here??? Say what?? Oh, it's been about a week, I think it's time to color my hair now...

Thank you, mom, I appreciate you. Easy to say, not said enough.

I know you always say, "I'm your Mom, we can be friends later", but to me, you've been both this whole time.

Love you always,

Most.

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.
