I am Thankful for my Sisters


There are so many things I am thankful for because of my sisters. I am thankful for my wonderful sisters. Without them I do not think I would be the person, or daughter I am.

Thank you for making our Starbuck’s runs memorable as well, and thank you for the special Starbucks drinks you would surprise me with.

You have made my skin so much cleaner, and healthier and with that I moisturize less, and am not using as harsh of a product on my skin. Thank you for telling me when I am being awkward, or staring off into space. I know at times it might hurt me but I know you are just trying to protect me.

Thank you for my high school friends, my Thames friends, my Summer Ruffing It friends, my R Lazy S friends, my Explo friends, my People to People friends, and lastly my Notre Dame friends.

I am Thankful for the support that I have gotten from my Different Schools

Thank you everyone who believed I could make it to college! I am thankful for all of the support of the schools that I have had over the years to bring me to this point. Thank you from the wonderful teachers at Ruffing Montessori in Cleveland Heights. They taught me how to be more independent, Thank you Lawrence Upper School in Sagamore Hills. This high school was the best high school a student could ever ask for. It was small and fit my learning disability needs,. This school made me feel important and welcome. Thank you Thames Academy at Mitchell College, for teaching me how to be independent away from home. Thank you for teaching me how to make friends when I was afraid that no one in the college setting would like me. The support from Thames Academy was wonderful. I enjoyed the weekly one on one checkups with the teacher, and how you were able to take college classes. I enjoyed living in the house with everyone else who was in the program, yet you were still thought of as a Mitchell College student. Lastly, thank you for Notre Dame College Academic Support Center. They allow me to have extended time, and our weekly lunches every Thursday make everyone in the whole ASC (Academic Support Center) feel like a little family. I am lucky and blessed that I am in the ASC.

Thank you coffee for satisfying my early morning and mid- afternoon caffeine cravings. You are always there for me when I need a little pick me up. You are there when I do not feel completely awake, and you are there when I feel that I might not exactly function completely without you. Thank you coffee for giving me the right caffeine boost that I need.

I am Thankful for my Bed

Thank you bed for always being so comfy. You are the comfiest bed I have ever laid in and I would not trade you for the world. I feel like I am laying on a million, billion, trillion little feathers when I lie on you. You are always so soft. Even my friends that have laid on you too have told me you are a really comfy bed. You should feel honored that you are such a comfy bed. I really feel lucky with you bed. Thank you for being such a comfy bed, and thank you for being MINE!

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.
