You always spent your time wishing your parents would magically bring home a little sister one day, but that never happened. As much as you wished for a younger sister there are some perks to having only brothers.

1. Your makeup, clothes, shoes and pretty much everything you own was never stolen.

2. You and your mom are more like best friends because she's the only girl in the house that understands the struggles.

3. Your brother will always be there to protect you, even if it's only from a spider.

4. You never got hand-me-down clothes, unless it was your brother's old T-shirts that you stole because they were comfy and a little big on you so they look good with leggings.

5. There was never a "who's prettier" competition within the family. You were always by default the prettiest girl.

6. You become very overprotective of your younger brother but you know he's strong enough to take care of himself.

7. You are always the daddy's girl while your brother is the mama's boy. It's only right.

8. As you and your brothers mature, the jokes and goofing around never stop.

9. Your girl cousins became surrogate sisters that you see from time to time, but that's just enough for you because its the closest you can get to actual sisters.

10. No matter how much your brothers annoy you, you never actually wished they would have been girls. You are grateful for who they are and life would never be the same without their annoying antics.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
