Why Getting A Christmas Gift For Your Mom Is So Difficult

Mothers, what great human beings AM I RIGHT? It's the most wonderful time of the year, CHRISTMAS TIME. You search stores, you search online, you ask family members, but what do you get your beautiful mother for this beautiful holiday?

So, why is getting a Christmas gift for my mom so difficult?

My mom raised me, she spent endless nights with me until 3 am when I was too little to understand that she was sleep deprived and probably had dry puke on her shoulder (from me).

My mom put a roof over my head, she made sure I had everything I could ever need to be a healthy, happy child. She did everything in her power to make sure I was always safe and nothing was going to happen to me.

My mom went through life with me, what I mean by that is at the most difficult times my mom was right there to lean my head on, the person who wiped my tears and rubbed my back. She was also there for the great times in life, the times I was so happy and she was even happier. You know your mother loves you when your sadness is her sadness and your happiness is her happiness.

My mom is the most amazing, strong, beautiful woman I know. So, how can I possibly pick out a Christmas gift when this woman deserves the entire world but my bank account says I can only afford a candle? It's impossible to give this lady what she truly deserves. But I know this Christmas I will give her the unconditional love that she deserves, because there is no one more amazing than my mother, I am so thankful.


I love you, Mom. Thank you for everything.

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.

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.
