I Miss My Grandparents So Much, But I Know They Are Watching Over Me

I believe angels do exist,

This year has gone by super fast - it's almost New Years.

I am not sure if I'm ready for the new year yet. With the all these holidays happening and the New Year being on its way, I always stop to think about the ones I miss dearly. I don't know if you believe in an afterlife or heaven, but I believe in something. I believe that I have quite a few angels up there watching over me.

Sometimes I feel safe knowing that and know that I will always be okay. I know they will take care of me just like how they have thus far. My angels are my grandparents who have sadly passed. I unfortunately never got to really know my Grampy because he died when I was two. From what I've heard from my mom and the rest of my family, he was quite an amazing guy. Even though I didn't know him, I truly believe he was. I know my mom talks about how much he loved her and how much my brother reminds her of him; I always love listening to her talk about them. Unlike my Grampy, I did know my Grammy which I would love to talk about. I miss her more than words could ever describe. She was an amazing woman, she was beautiful, strong, independent, and just so much more - someone I definitely looked up to when I was younger. Unfortunately, she didn't get to make it to a lot of things I wish she could have seen, such as my prom, one of my rodeos, and my wedding.

Every time I think about the day when I get married I want to cry because whenever she would talk about dying, I would yell at her to stop it and tell her how she has to be at my wedding and how I would never be able to do it without her. My mom and my aunt are super important to me and I need them both there. But the fact that I told her that she would make it there hurts me inside because she didn't. I know she will be there in some way, though, because honestly, I don't think she would ever miss it.

I know she is always watching over all of us. I just wish, like I'm sure many do, that I could talk to her one more time or ask for her opinion on a lot of things. I still always have her voice in my head and a lot of times when I'm just randomly thinking about her, I will either start laughing or burst into tears. I swear I really don't cry that much, but I feel sometimes that's a good way to get stuff out.

She was the type of woman still affecting me today... It doesn't matter what people say, always be true to yourself, follow your heart. Always saying to be strong even when everything goes wrong don't give up because it will all turn around. She was just so amazing. I remember when we would go and visit her at her place, I was young and on battle cheer. There was this one cheer that I always loved and whenever I did it, she would do it with me. It was always so funny and I would fall to the floor laughing, like stomach pains and all, it was great.

Sometimes thinking of her I think of that cheer. A-W-E-S-O-M-E AWESOME! AWESOME! TOTALLY! Probably a really stupid cheer but I don't care - it's so funny. She would shake her hips like me and everything. You don't have to listen to me, but I will always believe that all the loved ones we lose will always be there for us and never leave us. We will always have someone watching over us, I know I will.

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.
