Dear Little Brother, What I Want You To Know

Dear Little Brother,

We argue, we tease each other and we call each other names. We often drive each other (and mom) crazy. But that’s what siblings are for, right?

Our six-year age difference, combined with the fact that we live 400 miles away from each other for most of the year, may make it difficult for us to get along at times. At the end of the day, though, there are a few things I want you to know.

I want you to know that you’re the greatest gift I’ve ever received. Our parents have given me so much, but nothing compares to giving me a best friend for life. I consider myself lucky to have grown up with you. Although you may not realize it, you’ve made me a better person. Thank you.

I want you to know that I’m here for you. Whether you need my help or you just want to talk, I’m here. You can call me at any hour of the day and I’ll drop everything to be there for you, just as I know you would do for me. I hope you feel comfortable talking to me about anything, and that you know I’m always ready to listen.

I want you to know that I believe in you. Sometimes you’re so hard on yourself, but I hope you know that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. I can’t wait to see all that you will accomplish. No matter what you do in your life, I will be your number one fan.

I want you to know that I’m proud of you. Regardless of what grades are on your report card or how many hits you had in your last baseball game, I will always be cheering you on. I’m proud to call you my brother.

I want you to know that I love you. If there’s one thing I want you to remember, this is it. You’re so special to me, and I am truly lucky to have you in my life.

Thank you for always making me laugh, for supporting me and for being my lifelong best friend. My life is better because you’re in it.

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.

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.
