8 Things We All Wish Our Little Sisters Knew

I wish I had a big sister so I could have had someone that could have told me a lot of things in life. There is a lot of things I wish I knew growing up, but it doesn't mean I can't be the one to tell you the wisdom I wish I heard more often from a sibling. So here are the 8 things that I wish my big sister had told me.

1. Life is sloppy, but it doesn't mean you need to be

It is easy to let ourselves go when the world is tumbling down around us. However, if you stand tall, you will succeed no matter what. Always have faith in yourself and now that the world will get better. There is always a bright light at the end of a dark tunnel.

2. Peer pressure is real

People are always wanting things from us. You don't owe anyone anything ever. Your true friendship will be the ones who support us through the bad or good times. Not the ones who push us to be part of the issue. People will peer pressure you to drink and do drugs in the future, if they haven't already, just don't fall for it. There is a million excuses you can tell them, but the end of the day say no. There is no reason why you should be try and hide the fact that you know its not good or cool to do.

3. Build your own path, rather following someone else's

I can see how smart and talented you are. There are a million people in the world, everyone going their own paths and directions. You know you are already a unique girl, you don't need to follow someone else around to build yourself a strong future.

4. Mom and Dad are pretty cool when we remember they are human too

Parents can suck at times. Remember that they are people to. What they been through, we are most likely experiencing in one way or another. So trust, they know a little bit of what they are talking about.

5. Boys don't make any more sense as they get older

Yeah...sorry sis. And the video game doesn't get better.

6. The work you put in now really does pay off in the end

It all will be worth it in the end. The work we put on in high school plays off in college. The struggles of yesterday make the dreams of tomorrow. It will happen someday, you just need to get through today.

7. Learn from those around you

People are going to make a lot of dumb mistakes. Drinking under the influence, experimenting with drugs, ditching school...etc. Watch theirs. Watch and learn from other people. Don't try and go and make your own mistakes. If you do, that is okay and I will always be there for you. But don't try going and experimenting with them.

8. You always have an army of people around you, don't forget that

Remember, we are all here cheering you on. Even in your darkest hour, your family always got your back. No matter what.

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.

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.
