To My Little Brother At Home,

You may be my little brother, but you became a true friend through all of the years.

I love you.

Although we fought and argued like we were in war sometimes, just know I do miss you. I know you swore you were taking my room, but I know when I come home, my stuff will all be exactly as I left it.

Chill Out.

When mom or dad gives you a hard time, I’m just a call away. I know how irritating it is when you’re just trying to do something, and they simply won’t leave you alone. Know that they only do those things out of their form of love.

Letting Me Love my Pets from Away.

Thanks for taking pictures of my fish for me while I’m away. It seems ridiculous but take good care of her! Thanks for being there to take care of her too.

Thanks for Being You.

Thank you for being the best brother someone could ask for. Thank you for keeping quiet when mom didn’t need to know, and for actually telling me everything.

I have your back no matter what. Thank you for letting me teach you to play the tuba and for doing the musical with me every year that you could. Can I just say, I still think you were fantastic last year.

Don’t Grow Up.

Don’t break my heart and grow up. Enjoy every second of high school and be as involved as you can. I know you’re doing great things, and I know that at the end of high school you’ll do even better. Seeing you get older is so weird because I’m pretty sure you’re still 10 years old.

I can’t wait to see you!

Love,

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.
