Without you, I would be nothing.

A Thank You Letter To My Grandmother
Courtney Gutkowski

Before I explain the endless amount of things I would like to thank you for, I want to express just how lucky I am to be your granddaughter. To have such an exceptional woman in my life is one of the greatest blessings I could have ever asked for. Your confidence and strength is incredibly admirable, and I would be content if I could just be half of the woman that you are. I would not be the person I am today if it weren't for your guidance and influence. Not many people are able to say that they lived in the same household as their grandmother, but I can. To many this seems strange, but to me it is all that I have known, and would not change that for the world. I could not ever imagine not coming home to your radiant smile every day, because some days that is the only thing that kept me going. Your presence is something I always want to be around, and that will never change. So with this being said I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for helping raise me and shaping me into the woman I am today. Thank you for doing everything in your power to make sure I've been given everything I could have wanted. Thank you for always telling me the truth, even when it necessarily wasn't what I wanted to hear. Thank you for having enough strength to keep our family together. Thank you for teaching I can achieve anything I want to with confidence and perseverance. Thank you for reminding that even when things are bad, it could be much worse, and that in the end everything will work out. Thank you for showing me what it is to be a kind and genuine person, because those are the two characteristics that make you so exceptional. Thank you for being my sunshine, and filling my life with such joy and happiness. So, while I could go on and on with expressing my gratitude, I just want you to realize how wonderful you are. You are one of the most important and influential people in my life, and without you I would be nothing. So, thank you for simply being you.

Love,

Your Very Lucky Granddaughter

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.
