A Letter To My Dad
Rebecca Najdzinski

Dear Dad,

Thank you for being my dad. Thank you for throwing around the baseball with me, taking me to the park, teaching me how to drive, helping me set up a bank account, and always supporting me. Thank you for filling my childhood with games and laughs; you’ve given me memories that will last a lifetime.

I know I don’t and never will be able to express how much you mean to me. I appreciate everything you have done for me and continue to do. You have helped shaped me into the person I am today. You have shown me through example on how much I can accomplish if I work hard enough for it. Thank you for giving me a good life. There are so many people who are not as lucky as I am to have such a wonderful dad like you in their life.

I know life consists of a lot of twists and turns; and I want to say that I think you are strong. Not everyone survives the hardships life throws at them, but you always continue to fight. Thank you for showing me what strength is and showing me I am stronger than I think. Wherever life decides to take me I know I will make it through having you right next to me.

As I get older I know I will not always live with you. But I want you to know that you have well prepared me for life, and I am not afraid to go out and embrace the world. You have given me the skills and lessons necessary to survive and without you I would not be who I am today. So thank you for giving me the greatest gifts you could give; your time, love, knowledge, and patience.

No matter how old I am or how far away I may be I will always be your child. A child that loves you more than she/he will ever be able to express.

Thank you for everything Dad. I love you to the moon and back.

Love Always

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.

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.
