To my big sister,

This past semester as your little sister has been an amazing one. I would never have imagined finding someone so similar to me anywhere, especially not in such a large group of women. But low and behold, we were paired together for the better.

I can never repay you for welcoming me into Theta Phi like you have and including me in everything because we both know how needy I am. Not only have you showed me the ropes of sorority life, but you have also introduced me to some of the best people Theta Phi has to offer.

Yes, I mean Jessi and Emma.

I know that despite me being an actual child compared to everyone else, it doesn’t matter that I can’t get into Landy past 9 P.M. because we’ll probably end up at Applebee’s almost ordering the same thing again. Or at Samurai, despite you being the only one who’ll eat sushi.

It makes me a little nervous that at the end of Fall 2018, I’ll be all by myself with Emma and all of Theta Phi. But in such little time, you have made me feel so secure and at home in Theta Phi, that I know I will be okay.

You will have to come back in January because turning 20 without you will be no fun.

I can only hope that one day, when you come back to visit, I have made you proud and I am carrying on the legacy of the Sugar Tree well with the rest of my new member class. The Peep Branch would never have happened without you being afraid of needles, but it would never have been possible without you supporting me throughout my new member process.

I love you, even though you force all of the Peeps you don’t want onto me. I am so happy I get to be your little sister.

Love, Taylor (Or Gab #2).

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
