1. You are able to hold your own in a fight.

Without using your nails as weapons. Unless you really had to.

2. You have a bunch of over-sized sweatshirts from different sports teams.

And they know that they probably won't get them back.

3. You know everything there is to know about Star Wars.

And probably went to see the new movies the week they were released.

4. You have picked a side in Captain America: Civil War.

And it has little to do with Chris Evans.

5. You kick ass at video games.

And will challenge anyone to Super Smash Bros. Melee.

6. Their friends have probably referred to you as the "pretty version" or the "girl version" of your brother.

And you weren't offended because you know it's true.

7. You know all the rules of just about every sport ever.

Even if you don't enjoy them all.

8. Your parents rarely ever called you by your actual name.

"Hey David...'s sister, Emily."

9. Your parents paid for your movies to "get your brother out of the basement."

Who are you to turn down a free movie?

10. You had a best friend who never had to go home.

Because they already were!

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.
