Dear Big Sister

A letter all the big sisters that you think may have grown apart, but we know that that bond can never be broken.

Dear Big Sister
Kemba Webson

Dear Big Sister,

There was once a time in your life that I wasn’t even a thought. There was a time that it was just you and mom and dad and all was well in the world. You never could have imagined getting someone like me in your life, a little sister. But then one day I was there, not just a thought, an actual little person that needed your help. You showed me the ropes of life and I learned through you what was the right and wrong things to do. You were my role model so I knew exactly what not to when I became your age, but also the right ways to act when I finally became a big kid.

Big sister you gained a new toy the day I was born. You could dress me up like a doll (which you did, I have the pictures to prove it), play house, or do any number of activities with me and I was just about always willing to do so because I looked up to you so much. The day I was born you gained a new best friend for life, a built in friend that you can’t get rid of no matter how hard you try.

As time went on we began to grow apart, you were interested in boys long before I realized that they don’t actually have cooties and you had friends your own age that emulated those thoughts. Then in what seemed like the blink of an eye you were off to college leaving me to experience high school on my own. Although I talked to you frequently enough, either on Facebook or over the phone, it wasn’t the same as sharing a real conversation with you in person. When you did come home it was time for us to catch up and bond in our own special way.

Now that you’ve moved out and I’m in college I can look to you for guidance on tips like making a good schedule and how to deal with roommate issues. I may be a little more closed off than I used to be, Big Sister, but I still love you as much as I did when you were dressing me up in all sorts of costumes. I look up to you more than you might notice. Thanks for being my built in best friend, just know that I would follow you to the ends of the Earth if you needed me to.

Love,

Your Annoying Baby 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.
