Tuesdays With Mommom

My amazing grandma.

Tuesdays With Mommom
Lauren O'Halloran

It’s time to write an article about my biggest supporter, my grandma. Since I was just a little kid she has seen the potential and talent that even some of my teachers failed to recognize. Mommom’s favorite story about me is from when I was in kindergarten and I got to read a book that I wrote to my principal. To this day my grandma believes I should be a writer and although she cant access this article or any of my other ones, I know she would be happy that I’m writing regularly.

Mommom is by far the kindest woman I have ever gotten the pleasure to meet. She treats everyone like family and being Italian, she absolutely loves to cook and feed people. In fact, before she got sick, she would come over every single Tuesday after school and cook us a delicious meal. My brothers and I would take turns choosing what it would be for the next week. From turkey to corned/roast beef to sausage to meatballs, Mommom would make anything.

During these special Tuesdays we would talk about a lot of things but mostly religion. Mommom happily took up the difficult task of teaching my two younger brothers religion. From a very young age I learned to associate religion and church with the best woman I knew. I always thought everyone in the Catholic church was kind and generous like Mommom but unfortunately I learned that going to church doesn't necessarily make you a good person.

Mommom has always been concerned with my grades and education. As a child I loved sharing my high grades with her and my grandfather, who would give me a dollar or two every time I got a 100%.

I am so blessed and grateful to have had such an incredible grandma. Mommom has played a huge role in who I am today along with my views and values. I appreciate everything she has done for me and I will never forget her infinite kindness. The love she has for her family and friends is unbelievable. I hope that one day I can be half she is.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
