To The People I Do Not Thank Enough
Amanda Poussard

This is dedicated to everyone who has helped me grow into the person that I am today. I know I do not thank you guys nearly enough. I love all of you.

To My Sister

Thank you for being the biggest pain in the butt I have ever met. But thank you for much more than that too. Thank you for using up half (or more than half usually) of mom and dad’s time so that I could become more independent. Thank you for needing me so that I felt like an important influence in your life. But even more thank you for being my best friend. Thank you for sharng your secrets and for keeping mine. Thank you for hanging out when no one is around. And most of all thank you for loving me always.

To My Mom

Thank you for sacrificing so much for me. Thank you for kissing my boo-boos and for calming me when I had nightmares. Thank you for teaching me right from wrong and pushing me to achieve great things. Thank you for making me the person that I am because without you teaching me I wouldn’t be where I am.

To My Daddy

Thank you for making me the definition of “daddy’s little girl”. Thank you for teaching me not to take things so seriously and that being a goofball is a good thing. Thank you for keeping me smiling (if I’m not already rolling my eyes). Thank you for teaching me to have fun and for all of the “don’t tell mom” moments.

To My Boyfriend

Unlike my family who has to love me, you choose to (for some reason). Thank you for that. Thank you for dealing with me when I am being difficult. Thank you for dealing with the tears. Thank you for dealing with me when I am in crazy goofy moods and thank you for sharing so many smiles with me.

To My Friends

Thank you for also choosing to love me, or like me, or probably just tolerating me. Thank you to most of my friends for being there since elementary school and for still deciding to be my friends. Thank you for being there when I’ve needed it most. And most of all thank you for all of the memories.

I love you all!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
