15 Things You'll Relate To If You Have An Older Brother
Ally Huhne

Yes, having an older can be annoying growing up, but in a way it can be fun if you ever learned how to be a manipulative little sister like I was. Haha, of course nothing but tough love for all his years of torturing you and never leaving you alone, he deserved some punishment. Here is a list of 15 things you can relate to if you grew up with an older brother:

1. You feel like every time you went to do something like watch a movie in the basement, they magically decided they wanted to do the same thing, and then you would have to fight over who gets to control the remote


2. Even though mom would never choose favorites, you knew you were always her favorite and you were always dad's "little princess"... so basically there was no room for him


3. He would always try to make you feel bad since he was born first, and since you were the second born, it was "clear" that he was better


4. When you were about to get in trouble, you would always find a way to blame it on him or pretend that he was the one who hit you first



5. You had those friends who were weirdly obsessed with your brother and they would come over just for him or always ask about him...but you have to admit, there were times where you were scoping out his friends as well..


6. As you got older, you parents kept telling you that you couldn't do things that he had always done at that age... double standards, SMH


7. When people ask you if you're close with your brother you never know what to say because 99% of the time you're trying to kill each other, but you can't forget about that 1% where you actually are nice to each other

8. The most common battle is who gets shot-gun and the other person always acts like its the end of the world when they don't get it, and they sure don't give up without a fight


9. He always tried to convince you that you were adopted, even though everyone always tells you you look alike


10. You were never capable of sharing and to this day, don't think it's even possible


11. He would always find a way to trick you, creep you out, or scare you so you always had to be on your toes


12. Whatever you were arguing about, as long as you were the one who ended up crying, you would win and your parents would blame him


13. He was always too cool to play with you, and obviously wouldn't play with your dolls so you would be forced to play football or video games


14. Whenever there is a mention about boys, he comes in being the stereotypical protective older brother


15. Those pointless never-ending fights


Having an older brother is for sure a love hate relationship and a unique experience. Yes, definitely an emotional rollercoaster and a few bumps and bruises along the way, but so much fun and worth the ride.

Love you Ry, thanks for putting up with me all these years.

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.
