Thank You To My Parents For Making Me, Me

Dear Mom and Dad,

I just want to thank you for the way you raised me. The way that you shaped me into the person I am today. You have taught me that life is a journey and to take things day by day. You've showed me how to love, laugh and be happy.

Growing up I never expressed my appreciation towards you. All those soccer games I made you guys sit through. All the times I had you guys drive me to a friends house or the mall. Being young you never really understand all that your parents do. Now that I'm older I realized you guys did way to much. You always knew how to put a smile on my face and I never really showed you the appreciation that you guys deserved.

You have been my day one supporters, my leaders and the first person to tell me when I'm wrong. You've always had my back when it comes to anything. You are the type of parents I want to be when I'm older. The ones that joke around with their kids and have that close relationship with. The ones that cherish their moments with their kids. We all have our own things that we bond over and are special to us. Like, Dad watching the sunset with you at the beach and Mom going shopping for shoes - these are two of my favorite things to do. It gives us time to sit, relax and take a step back from our crazy lives. It allows us to catch up for a minute.

Throughout the years, Dad you've shown me how a man should treat a woman. That I should never settle for less then what I deserve. Mom you have taught me how to take care of a family and how to juggle about five different tasks at once. You both always allowed me to do what I wanted, within reason. You allowed me to learn from mistakes that I've made. You set goals for me that I think might be impossible, but you push me to be the best version of myself.

Thank you for everything you have ever done for me.

Love you,

Always and Forever

Your Daugther

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.
