A Thank You Letter To Mama Grabs
Pam Graboso

Dear Mama Grabs,

Thank you. Thank you for everything. I don't even think I can ever repay you for all you have done for me these past 20 years of my life.You have taught me so much and I hope to take these life lessons to help me achieve my goals for the future. You honestly deserve the world, mom, and I hope that I can give you that in the near future.

Thank you for always supporting me.

Mom, I really don't know where I would be without your love and support backing me up every step of the way. I am so glad that you show your support in everything that I pursue. Wherever my path will take me, I know your love and support will be right behind me. If it's meant to be then it's meant to be.

Thank you for always praying for me.

You know how much of a worried mess I can be about certain things like exams for school. I know that your prayers will help me through whatever. I dunno, something about your prayers really makes me believe in God. God really picked a good person to be his right hand.

Thank you for always listening to me.

As much of a talker that I am, I always felt afraid to talk to you about my life and my feelings. I dunno, I felt that you were always busy with work that I should not bother you with my problems. However, recently I felt like I can tell you anything. With my recent break up, I just felt like no one would want to listen to me. However, you were there for me. You wanted to listen and hear how I felt about the whole thing. And I just want to say thank you for being there for me and showing me that there is light after the storm.

Thank you for always taking care of me.

As a person that always gets sick, I am so glad to have a nurse as a mom. It's nice to know that I don't have to check WebMD and can just go to you with my symptoms. You always worry about my asthma and make sure that I don't have to go to the hospital. Those countless nights that you spent when I was having very bad asthma symptoms, you made sure that I was breathing. Really trying my best not to get sick anymore, I promise.

Thank you for teaching me to be selfless.

Mama Grabs, you put everyone ahead of yourself. You make sure of that everyone is happy before you are. I never see you sad or stressed, always happy. I really am glad that you taught me to be not selfish.

Mama Grabs, there are so many more things that I am thankful that you have done or taught me. I cannot think of all of them off the top of my head. I cannot thank you enough. You are honestly such an amazing woman and I am so glad that you are my mom. I use to hate when people would say that I am the spitting image of you. However, now I am proud of it.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
