I am the big sister of one little girl and four little boys. I am the oldest of all my siblings. My siblings can be very annoying, but they're also my friends. I don't know who I would be with out them. They make my days a little brighter and my heart a little warmer. I love my big sister duties, like singing bedtime songs and helping them with homework.

I haven't been able to do these things as often since coming to college. If you are a big sister like me, there are a few things about this job that are pretty great. Here are my favorite things about being a big sister.

The drawings my siblings make me

From little doodles to homemade birthday cards, I love it all.

Being my siblings' biggest fan

I go to their football games, cheer leading, band concerts, field days and school plays.

Being idolized

I can't tell you how many times I've heard the words, "I want to be like sissy." I love being someone my siblings can look up too.

Arts and Crafts

I love spending time making things with my siblings, We make gingerbread houses and homemade gifts for our family.

Having built in best friends.

No matter where life takes us, I will only be a phone call away from them. Siblings are your friends for life. You share an unbreakable bond.

I am so grateful for my younger siblings. Being a big sister is the biggest blessing I have ever been given.

While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
