5 Reasons Why I Am Thankful For My Older Siblings
Julia Trout

Thanks for being ones that I can constantly look up to!

Growing up, you three were the ones that I dreamed of becoming just like when I was older. At a younger age, everything you guys did I imagined doing too; playing basketball, working at the same places you did, excelling in school, going to college and being successful. Whether you realized it or not, you all are the reason I am molded into the person I am today. Your guys’ determination, hard work, great attitudes, incredible personality’s and love and respect towards everyone has been my constant drive. Every time you guys had an achievement or made a huge jump forward, that only encouraged me to do the same! Watching you guys continue to chase your dreams and accomplish your lifetime goals has been beyond amazing to witness over the years. Continue doing you! You guys are doing great!

Thanks for being ones that I can always count on for absolutely anything.

People have come and disappeared over the years but at the end of the day, I know I can always count on the three of you for anything and everything. Growing up, I could count on you for someone to play basketball with, helping me with homework and looking for advice toward any current life issue. Now, especially over this past year and a half, I can’t thank you enough for your constant support. Whether I needed advice toward college, boyfriends, a should to cry on, and hand to grasp on, a good laugh or just someone to strictly talk with, you guys have been go-to people. You guys rock!

Thanks for handing down the tips on how to handle our parents.

As there are many pros and cons to being the young sibling in the family, a huge pro is having you guys gearing me through the ropes and twist and turns with our parents. Based off your own experiences, you are able to hand down tricks and tips through certain phases I have experienced being a young adult. Thanks!

Thanks for always being the ‘protective’ older siblings

Nothing is quite as comforting than knowing you guys constantly have my back. At the end of the day, I know that you guys would do anything for me and I can’t thank you enough for that! In middle and high school, you always reminded me that whether it be with a friend or boyfriend, you guys would kick anyone’s ass who would do anything to hurt us. In college, you always check up on me making sure that I am having the time of my life, forming great relationships with people and being safe in my own surrounding environments. It’s an incredible feeling knowing that you three look out for me! Thank you.

Thanks for being the best older siblings anyone could possibly ask for!

No words can describe how thankful I am for each of you! The bond between a sibling is so unique, comforting and unbeatable and I am beyond happy to be able to share such a connection with you three. I could not have asked for more incredible older brothers and sister. You three continue to push me like no-one has before, support me through it all and express nothing but genuine love toward me. Continue being the most amazing, self-driven and kind-hearted individuals you all are. I love you three!

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.
