13 Signs You Adore Your Little Cousins

I’ve got three amazing little cousins all of whom I adore. The amount of love I have for them is ridiculously huge. Anyone who knows me well knows I love them because after every visit, I rave about them to my friends. They are undoubtedly some of my favorite people on Earth. If you are in the same boat floating in a sea of bubbly bliss with your own cousins, you may be guilty of some, or all, of the following.

1. You feel like a proud mom whenever they accomplish something wonderful.

Whether it be getting a strike in bowling or scoring in a soccer game, you feel that swell of pride that mothers feel watching their babies succeed.

2. You actually enjoy their early morning wake-up calls.

Having your blankets yanked off, being doused in cold water, or getting shot with rubber bands--whatever the wake-up tactic may be, you secretly relish in those early mornings.

3. They are your phone lock screen.

What better thing to see every time you use your phone than their smiling faces (or goofy faces, since it's hard to get them to all be serious at the same time when taking a picture).

4. You would literally do anything for them.

They mean the world to you, so nothing they ask for is too much.

5. You are okay with making a fool out of yourself when you're with them.

Singing off-key and making animal noises are among the things you gladly do.

6. You could hug them for all eternity.

(Okay, maybe not that long, but pretty darn close).

7. You talk about them all of the time.

Me on a daily basis: Did I already tell you about the time my cousins...I did? Okay...what about the time when...oh, I already told you about that too? Well, anyway, my cousins are the best.

8. You would drop everything to hang out with them.

You don't get to see them all of the time, so you jump on (or forcefully tackle) any chance to hang out with them.

9. They make you laugh constantly.

Never a dull moment with them, even if the laughter is prompted by a prank played on yourself.

10. You get excited thinking about witnessing milestones in their lives.

You are eager to be there for their graduations, weddings, college acceptances, first jobs, first relationships, etc.

11. You can never get mad at them.

Even if they spray you with unpleasant odors, yank at your hair, or throw things at you, you find yourself grinning as you "reprimand" them.

12. You smile perpetually when you are near them.

Did you just win a million dollars? Did you get proposed to? Did you meet your favorite celebrity? Nope, you hung out with the cousins. Just thinking about them makes you smile!

13. You treasure anything they make you.

Bracelets, clay figurines, duct tape purses...they all equate to the worth of sport's cars or diamond necklaces. Literally, they could draw a smiley face on a dirt-laden rock and you'd add it to your collection of valuables.

The next thing on my things-to-do-with-my-little-cousins bucket list, is to take them to an amusement park because it would be a blast, and more generally speaking, little cousins make every activity more fun. Having little cousins is the greatest thing ever. They grow up all too fast, so enjoy every second you have with them.

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.
