To My Mom

You're the kind of person people strive to be

To My Mom

You're the kind of person people strive to be

That's probably why dad got on one knee

You take such good care of all of us T's

So, I'm going to express the influence you've had on me


There is nothing in this world you wouldn't do

To make sure me and my sister are happier than you.

For almost 18 years I dreaded staying at your work late

But little did I know how much of that I would appreciate.


For many years I argued with you nonstop

Trust me I know your head was about to pop.

But even then, you and dad still worked so hard

So me and tori could play in our big backyard.


We never quite appreciated what you and dad do

But one day I hope I'm as great a parent as you two.

For that I truly just want to thank you

And you will always be the first one's I turn to.


For years I thought I always had to hide

But little did I know you were always on my side.

You were always there even when I didn't want to talk

And no matter what, you will forever be my rock.


I'm the person I am today because of you,

You've taught me to be strong, confident, loyal, and true.

When I was little all my Achievements found a place on the fridge

And if I really wanted something, you'd give it to me without a fit.


You were more involved in my life than most parents are

And you always made me feel like I was a superstar.

The best things in my life have all been because of you

And I hope one day I can make it up to you.


Wherever I go, whatever I do

I hope one day I succeed enough to fill your shoes.

But no matter what, in the end,

You will always be my best friend.

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.
