Thank You Mum
Mom

Mum, Mom, Mother,

You have probably only heard those words fifty-thousand-times and yet you still answer. You are my biggest fan and you are my role model. You are the best mother/best friend a daughter can have. Oh and let me tell you that you are my very best friend. Sometimes I don't appreciate that enough and I am sorry. Thank you for being both my mom and my best friend. You have raised me to be kind, humble, friendly, classy and maybe a bit spoiled. I thank you for that too. Thank you for always making sure I had new school clothes and for not making me ride the bus in middle school. Thank you for coming to the school and eating with me. Thank you for buying me my first puppy and teaching me to ride a bike.

Thank you for loving me even when I am a brat and don't understand you reasoning behind things. Thank you for telling me how it is even when I don't want to hear it. You are my mom. You are the housekeeper, the cook, my own personal taxi, a doctor, my head cheerleader and my secret keeper. You have taken care of me. You have given up your life to be in mine. Thank you for that. Thank you for being a stay at home mom. I can't thank you enough for all you do because these paragraphs would turn into pages.

What I can thank you for is for never giving up on me. You were there when nobody else was and I know you will be there when there isn't anyone there again. You are my shoulder to cry on. You have inspired me and encouraged me to always strive for my dreams. Thank you for that. Thank you for always supporting whatever my ADHD-self wanted to do during that certain moment in life. Thank you for never making me feel like I'm not good enough. You have always raised me up. You help me believe in myself when it is hard to. Thank you for helping me figure out my life and comforting me when I can't. So, thank you for never leaving me lonely, for telling me you love me, for making my food and for letting me still stay at home. (Lol)

Last, just thank you for being my mom. I love you. Happy Mothers Day!!

Love,

Your one and only daughter

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.

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.

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.
