7 Blatantly Obvious Reasons Being An Auntie Is Undoubtedly The Best
Lexi Schroeder

One of the best opportunities that has come into my life is being an aunt.

Being an aunt has not only shown me how much love I can provide towards one little human being, but it has also made my life so much better. It's basically like having your own child, but without most of the responsibilities that come along with it!

Here are reasons why being an auntie is the best thing ever.

1. You get to spoil your niece/nephew

No matter where I am, I will always look for something that I can buy my niece. Whether it's clothes or a toy, she'll get it because that's what aunt's are supposed to do... SPOIL THEM!

2. Rules? Nahhh

Oh mom and dad said you couldn't have a sip of soda? Well Auntie says you can! Breaking rules is key to being an aunt as long as your little mini me is happy.

3. You don't have to change their diapers

One thing that I dread is changing my niece's diaper... I personally can't deal with that stuff and I'll wait to change a diaper until I have a child of my own, but until then, that's my sister's dirty job.

4. Disciplining is not in your dictionary

Of course, your little niece/nephew will get an attitude or start doing something they shouldn't be doing, so that's when you can give them right back to their parents! Then after time out, they're mad at mom and dad so they end up running to you.

5. You can buy them annoying toys and not face consequences

Go ahead. Buy that toy that never shuts up. You can finally get back at your sister for annoying you all those years by giving her kid the most annoying toy in the store.

6. You get to be a kid again

"You want to play with your Barbie? Yes, I'll play!" "Oh tea time? Of course!"

7. You get all their love!

Nothing melts my heart more than when my niece says her little "bye" and gives me hug!

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.
