An Open Letter To My Little Brother

Dear lil bro,

There is a lot I have to tell you and I thought the best way for me to fully express the emotions I have would be with words:

I love you, bub. You are the best brother a girl could ever ask for. There are so many reasons why, like how you always have my back, how you can make me laugh and how you can cheer me up after some idiot has broken my heart again.

To start off, I want to thank you for having my back. For standing up for me when no one else would. For being overprotective and guarding me from the bullies. I can't thank you enough for the times you consoled me when I was sobbing after people had posted horrible stuff about me all over social media; how you would surprise me with Reese’s cups just out of the blue because you knew it would make me happy. Or the time we were at Target, and I was having a bad day, and you said you bought some espresso from Starbucks when I asked what you were doing, but you had actually bought me my favorite drink. You are so thoughtful and kind, and I am lucky that I get to watch you continuously grow into the young man you are becoming.

I love how there were so many things that only you and I would have fun doing. Like playing Wizards 101 for 6 hours and arguing over who had the best character (sorry for sharing this with the world, it is just a great representation of why I love you). And how you pretended to be a student while I was practicing my teaching skills when we younger; lord knows how fun it was to have me teach you math incorrectly. I am just really appreciative of all the memories we share, no matter how strange they may seem to other people. I am just happy I got to share them with you.

I even love how overprotective you are. I know that you always have my best interest at heart and that you have always been looking out for me when I couldn’t seem to realize that I was talking to another loser. You would stand up for me when anyone ever disrespected me and that is something I will always cherish.

There are obviously some times that have been not so great. Honestly, you really gross me out nine times out of 10. But on a positive note, growing up with your gross habits helped prepare me for what future boyfriends would do. If I could grow up with you then I could make it through any unpleasant moment with any other guy.

But the flaws that you have are far surpassed by your amazing qualities. You are so caring and genuine to everyone you meet; it is truly inspiring to watch how kind you are. You know how to respect women and I am proud that I can say that about you in this generation. I can’t wait until I get to be the over protective sister when you start dating because I don’t want watch you ever get hurt. I love you more than words describe and I am so blessed that I got you as a brother. I am so grateful for you and I just hope you know that.

Love,

Your favorite sister

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
