6 Reasons Why Big Sisters make The Best Friends
Kat Phillips

I am beyond lucky to have two amazing big sisters. They have truly helped me through so much and I can't begin to imagine where I would be without them today. Here are my top six reasons why they also make the best friends, although I could think of a million more!

1. They tell you the truth even if you dont want to hear it.

They will definitely let you know if that friend or boy is no good for you and will keep telling you until you let them go.

2. They are always there for you.

Even if they think it's the most trivial problem in the world they will sit and listen to you vent for hours and heaven forbid someone ever messes with you because they have no idea what's coming to them.

3. You get to learn from all their mistakes.

You really luck out as the younger sibling in this department because their loss (or punishment) is your gain.

4. They aren't afraid to be brutally honest.

If you ask if you look bad in something, be prepared to hear the truth because that's exactly what you're going to get.

5. They know EVERYTHING about you.

This can be good or bad but honestly they know when somethings up because they know you better than you know yourself sometimes. They know your bad habits and your limits and they keep you in check.

6. They are stuck with you.

In my opinion this is the best one because no matter what you do or how many arguments you go through, at the end of the day they are still your big 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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
