Why I'll Miss My Mom The Most At College

I'm the girl that would pack her mom in her suitcase for college if I could.

Why I'll Miss My Mom The Most At College
Danielle Rodriguez

Let's face it, for most of us our mothers are our worlds. I can't begin to imagine a day going by that she is not around. By that being said I have to deal with the fact that I am starting my second year of college next month I once again will be living on campus meaning I will not have my mom 24/7 anymore. Knowing that I will have to do things on my own such as shopping, meetings, doctors appointments and other adult things makes me actually want to stay home. Frankly, if I could pack my mom in my suit case I'd do it in a heart beat.

Everyone that loves their mother, of course, would say the same thing "I have the best mom in the world." and yes I do believe she is the best, but she is so much more than that to me. My mom is my rock and she will always be. She truly is my number one fan because no one has ever supported me one-hundred percent like she has. All the faith that I never had for myself she's always there to make up for it.

As the days grow closer to move in day I know she's struggling to be okay with it. As she always tells me

"No matter how much I tell you to say, you have still go. I'll be okay."

My mom and I both know we won't be that far from each other but it's still hard to be away from your best friend. Because yes, my mother is my best friend and I know I am hers. I am a full on mama's girl, I am attached to that women's hip. She has done so much for my brothers and I and there is no amount of money in the world that can repay for all of her hard work and sacrifices she has done for us.

This month I will be turning twenty and honestly, I don't care how old I get I will always need my mom whether I'm thirty or even sixty. How would I know how to change my ID's or if an email is a scam because sadly I'd fall for anything. I definitely would not be able to handle money. I simply do not know how to be an adult without calling my mom around four times when doing something and even though I call while she is at work she without any annoyance will answer my sometimes stupid questions.

So yes, I am the girl that would love to be able to bring my mom to School with me. I am the girl that even though should be an "independent adult" will without any hesitation call my mom while I am away because without my mom there is absolutely no way I would survive college whether its questions about important things, stupid questions, gossip, bad days, good days or just simply because I want to hear her voice. Because theres so much i'll miss but I will miss her the most.

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.
