For My Brothers Who I Wouldn't Trade For The World

They’ve made me tougher, wiser, and happier.

For My Brothers Who I Wouldn't Trade For The World

This is for my brothers,

Who are truly the best. The fact that I get to live with two of my best friends is really, really great. The bond we share is really special, no matter the type of day we’re having. Even though the inevitable will happen and you will fight with your siblings, they’ll always be the people who grew up by your side.

Whether the fist fight breaks out because they looked at you funny when you were in a terrible mood, took your mom or dad’s side when they should've stuck with you, or made fun of you and you won’t tolerate it, no matter what, your siblings will always be your siblings. Whether you like it or not, they aren’t going anywhere. Like many people say, you can pick your friends but you can’t pick your family. But if you’re lucky enough, your family members are some of your best friends anyway.

Having two younger brothers is something I would never ever ever want to change. Some people wish for the things they don’t have, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The relationships I have with the both of them are very different, but are both so special to me.

Brothers are there for you when you need advice, and not sugar-coated. When you just need to know something with an honest opinion, they’ll tell you the truth, even if it may be too honest sometimes, but it's just out of love. They’re there for you when you want to go on adventures late at night when you don’t want to do homework. They’re there for you when you need a good laugh, or when you want to make ice cream sundaes at midnight.

The relationship may be “love-hate” at times, but I know that a day doesn't go by that they wouldn't be there for me. Remember the times you’re in a fight with somebody and you’re trying to hold the grudge just because that’s what you're supposed to do in a fight? With brothers, it’s almost impossible because of the urge to show them something so hilarious you just can’t stay mad.

I’ve learned the most from my brothers, laughed the hardest, had the most fun and smiled the most with them. I’ve always appreciated and looked up to them, even though they are seven and three years younger. They’ve made me tougher, wiser, and happier. But as I’m away at college this year I’ve learned to appreciate them more. As we get older our friendship only bonds tighter, and I am excited to see what the future will bring.

With utter love and appreciation for my brothers!

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.
