Two words: unconditional love

Thank You, Mom

Disclaimer: The cover photo for this picture is four years old from my junior prom and my mother and I look nothing like that as we both have blonde highlighted hair now.

They always say mothers are a girl's first best friend and that could never be more true. They are our first teachers, shoulder to cry on, and so much more. As I am now in my college years, I have become more independent. Yet, I always end up texting my mom when I'm sick, when I did well on an exam, or to let her know when I'm coming home. Mothers are someone that will always be there for their daughters and we can't thank them enough for it.

I played softball my entire life and was a pitcher. My mom made the effort to attend every one of my games whether it was home or away. And I'm sure those of you that are reading this mothers did the same thing. She and my dad were my number one fans and I could always hear them cheering for me from the stands.

For years, I have done community service and I can thank my mother as being the one who got me into it. She has such a kind heart and continues to do so many things for the community. My mother is an incredibly hard worker and is quite crafty. All of my friends know that she creates cute things and are always interested in seeing what she thinks of next.

My mom and I are known for staying in on weekends and watching movies. We are always searching the TV, Netflix, or Amazon video for something to watch. The funniest part is when we are watching something and my mom starts to laugh really hard and can't stop laughing which makes me non-stop laugh. Little moments like these are what I will remember as well as the simple gestures she does for me.

There will be numerous times my mother will give me money with out me asking for it. It is typically for me to get my nails done or she will pay for me and a friend to go and grab lunch. Even though I decline the money she tells me to "just take it" because it is "her treat". Even though it's not necessary, she still does it.

My mother will do anything for anyone and is one of the kindest ladies I know. So here's to you and mothers everywhere that put their daughters first. We appreciate all that you do for us.

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.

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.
