A Thank You To The Best Teachers I've Ever Had
aitution.com

Spring break has now come and gone and for some of us, graduation is quickly coming. Feelings are bittersweet; I'm excited to go out into the real world but I'm also scared about being on my own. I won't have mentors that I can turn to or email at any time of the day, which is something that I've never had to deal with. Since I can remember, I've had teachers and professors that I saw and talked to almost every day. Along with my parents, these teachers have been role models for me and have shaped me into who I am.

Thank you.

From elementary school up until college, I have had professors that have pushed me to try my hardest and taught me life lessons. Whether it be their comments on my papers or making me stay after for department night because I wasn't doing too well in class or even just saying "how are you?" in the hallways, it has all helped me become me.

Now that I'm a little older, I realize how hard teachers work (not that I didn't notice before). I've noticed how hard it is for teachers to try and be a good teacher while developing connections with their students. Students, especially in high school, tend to push teachers away as they go through personal troubles but luckily, I had teachers who broke down those walls and helped me get through those tough times.

Thank you to those teachers that made classes hard and didn't take laziness as an excuse or let me slide by. You made me learn and yes, even though that's the point of school, many students don't remember the things they "learned" in school. But because of your teaching ways, the way you made it interesting but difficult, I still remember the things I worked to know.

Thank you to my teachers who have made connections outside of school and taught me life lessons. The ones who took me on field trips that would actually help me in my life.

Please keep being the wonderful teachers that you are. Because although I may just be one person, I know that there are others that feel the same.

Thank you.

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.

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.
