To My Mother, Thank You For Everything.

A letter I have been wanting to write to you for a long time now.

To My Mother, Thank You For Everything.

I often come across these articles on my Facebook or Twitter. Many people writing letters to those who they appreciate. I think it is about time I wrote one too.

To my amazing, beautiful, mother, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, especially for the past six years. Time and time again has brought us both on a journey that would not have been possible without you by my side.

I know you do not believe it, but you are everything that I want to be in a person as I continue to grow. You are unbelievably strong, hard-working, and have a heart open to every one around you. You have taught me so many things in the past few years that I will never forget.

We have carried each other through our bad days, and celebrated so many good ones. Every day I see you grow into someone who is more beautiful and caring. I know how hard it has been, but I want you to know how proud I am of you. You have shown me nothing but strength. Most of all you have taught me to be myself, and to never doubt myself.

You have been my number one supporter and my rock since the beginning of college. These years have been the hardest on the both of us, yet I have never felt more loved than I do now.

You have taught me countless times to be kind, and to value the things around me. You have taught me to fight for what I believe in and to put my all in to everything I do. Your moral support has been such an influence to the do the best that I can all the time.

I am beyond proud to be your daughter. I am proud of who we both have become, and who will continue to grow to be. You are my rock. I can not thank you enough for the years of happiness and adventure. We have so much left to accomplish.

I love you, mom, thank you for giving me the world. Thank you for showing me the beauty in the life we have.

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.
