An Open Letter To My Sister

Hello buttface,

I'm sorry. I had to begin with starting with an insult, what kind of sister what I be if I didn't?

First off, thanks for being my best friend. Having a sister like you means that I always have a life-long best friend. Although sometimes I feel like if we weren't related I would probably never talk to you, I'm thankful to have a sister like you. Thanks for keeping up with the story and telling everyone we were twins just because we were so close in age. A sister means that I'll have someone to share my deepest secrets with and know that no one else will ever know.

Thanks for always letting me borrow your clothes. I'm so glad we were the same size so I always technically had two closets. Thanks for being brutally honest with me when I thought that pink eyeliner in middle school was a good choice. Thanks for teaching me to be girly and showing me how to do makeup. Thanks for showing me to dress in bolder colors and patterns. Thanks for watching Youtube videos with me and slowly going over how exactly to blend my eyeshadow.

Thanks for always being by my side. Thanks for being "stuck like glue" whenever we're at awkward gatherings and sitting in the corner with me, silently judging everyone else.

No matter how far away I am or feel, thanks for always being a phone call away. I appreciate your random texts with pictures of our inside jokes, or how you take time out of your day whenever I'm having a bad day to vent or just cry.

Most of all, I'm just lucky to have an annoying, pain-in-my side, compassionate, sassy and loving sister.

Love,

the Better Sister

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
