To My Dad, For Father's Day

There aren't enough thank you's in the world.

Today is Father's Day or any special occasion in which you are celebrated. I know that it is a special occasion, celebrating you because we do so rarely. But you should be celebrated more than rarely.

I could start off by saying thank you, but there wouldn't nearly be enough.

I know that we aren't always on the best of terms, we don't always see eye to eye, and we fight more than anything. However, with all of that being said, that doesn't change my love for you. I love you so much that it scares me to know that one day you won't always be here.

While you've always been hard on me, you've always wished the best success for me. You might be super strict but that's because you fear to lose your little girl. You've always pushed me to do my best and celebrated all of my successes. I wouldn't be the person I am today without you.

I've watched you love hard and fully, and I've watched your loss. I've been there through the riches and the poorest. We've survived all the highs and lows, together, me and you.

You've shown me what it was like to truly love someone, and you've never let me settle for less. You're always honest with me, even if its sometimes something I don't want to hear. You've taught me how to be independent, open-minded, and sincere, even if it comes back to bite you in the butt sometimes.

You've held my hand through all my failures and reminded me of how proud you are, even when it doesn't feel like it. You have always had my best interests in mind, no matter what.

No matter the case, I am always so proud to be your daughter. I am proud of the man you are, the man who raised me. I'm sorry I don't tell you enough or show how appreciative I am.

Thank you for instilling in me the importance of hard work. Thank you for teaching me to work with my hands and not to be afraid to get dirty. Thank you for never letting me think I'm not able to achieve my dreams.

But most of all, thank you for being my dad and loving me unconditionally. I know I don't say it enough, so I hope this can be a constant reminder of how proud and thankful I am for you, and also how much I love you. I promise to always be your little girl.

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.
