A Thank You Letter To My MaMaw



"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12

Just yesterday I lost one of the most precious humans I have ever known. My MaMaw never let a day go by that I saw her to tell me that Jesus loves me and that one day I would soon meet Jesus face-to-face. Death is never easy for anyone but knowing where my MaMaw stood with the Lord makes it that much easier knowing she is in a better place. My MaMaw was a very spiritual woman and anyone who knew her, knew that about her. She would spread Jesus' love to anyone she came in contact with and was just such a light. So thank you, MaMaw, for being a constant reminder in my life of what a truly Godly woman should be and for teaching me how to behave like one. Thank you for teaching me family values that I hope one day I can pass on to my children. Such as never missing a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal with the ones I love most or always being a Christian light upon your family. You will never know how much that means to all of us. Also, Thank you for never letting a moment go by without telling me or anyone else that you loved us. You will never understand how the simple I love you would make my day. I will never forget all the memories that we shared nor will I ever forget how blessed I am to have known you. I love you so much MaMaw and will miss you so much.

Sincerely,

Someone who is thankful


"When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow with humble adoration,
And then proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"

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.
