What July 4th Means To Me
Crazy-Frankenstein

As June is slowly coming to an end, and July is almost here there is an important date we always celebrate. July 4th- Independence Day. Now, I know it's all about Independence and with celebrating the colonies, but what it means to me is family. I love being with my family on holidays, especially during the summer! Cook-outs and BBQs are all time best! You get to celebrate with the ones you love, and the ones who care about you.

You play with sparklers, and watch the big fireworks happen. They show off the colors Red, White, and of course Blue. It is a wonderful time of the year to have fun and talk with family members.

What The 4th of July is all about is the 13 colonies claimed their independence from England, which led the formation of the United States. What the 4th of July mean to me is celebrating the independence of getting your freedom back and getting the 13 original colonies which are now the first 13 states of the USA.

This day is about getting your freedom back and being around friends, family, and your boyfriend and girlfriend. I love getting to celebrate the day that we got your independent back, having the 4th of July isn't about all the food, fun, and fireworks. It's about the day that we became independent. This day is all being around your families but most of all its all about celebrating the formation of the United States.

The 4th of July is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence which happen to be on July 4,1776, and this is what this day is all day.

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.

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.
