To My Mom
Tracy Pogue

Dear Mom,

With Mother's Day approaching, I just wanted to express how thankful I am to have you as my mom. I honestly don't know what I would do without you. You have helped me get through some of the worst times of my life and you have been there cheering me on in the happiest moments of my life. I can always count on you to be there for me and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you, Mom. You really are the best.

Every hospital stay, every doctors appointment, every lab result and piece of bad news, you have been there holding my hand. There were times where all I wanted to do was give up, but you never let me. You never let me forget about living the life I deserved. It's because of you that I know that I am worthy of being healthy. I am worthy of having the best mom in the world, and I have her.

I'll never forget the day I graduated from high school. As I walked up onto the stage to receive my diploma, I searched for you in the crowd, and when I found you I smiled so big because you and I together got me there to that day. I wouldn't have finished high school or got into college if it wouldn't have been for your faith in me. When everyone doubted me, you stood up for me. You believed in me and now I believe in myself.

I think you deserve to have more than one day of the year devoted to you because you are an amazing mom. I promise to treat you like it's Mother's Day every day and to always remember to always believe in myself because I am worth it.

I love you, Mom!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
