Thank You, Mom
Cassady Thompson

Dear Mom,

Where do I even begin? I know I have said it a million times, but you truly are the best mom a kid could ask for. I know sometimes it might not seem like your hard work is acknowledged, and I’m sorry for that. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you. You have done so much for me. You’ve cooked, cleaned, done laundry, bought me new clothes, and so many more “motherly duties." Don’t get me wrong, those classic mom roles are awesome, but what I am the most thankful for is so much more than that. You are selfless. You work all day every day and are exhausted but still come home and cook an amazing dinner and spend time with me. Whether it be going out somewhere, playing cards, or just watching a movie. You are extremely hard working. Your drive and determination has shaped me to be just like you, and that is something I am proud of. You have the kindest heart that loves so purely. Trust me, that especially doesn’t go unnoticed. You’ve always been there for me. This is the most important role a parent can play, and you win the blue ribbon for this one. Through the happiest and saddest of days, you are right by my side. Encouraging me, showing me the way and loving me. No matter what the situation is, I am comfortable to come to you. I can’t thank you enough for how much that means to me. I can only hope and pray that one day my kids will feel so comfortable and welcomed and talk to me about anything and everything. Some people may say that talking to your mom on the phone 15 times a day from college is crazy, but I wouldn’t change that for the world. You are my best friend, my biggest fan and my mom all in one. Come on, it doesn’t get any better than that! So, Mom, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for being who you are and loving me unconditionally. I will forever cherish the relationship we share, and I will do my absolute best not to take you for granted.

Love Always,

Your eternally grateful daughter

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.
