To my wonderful sister,

I have looked up to you my entire life. I remember in elementary school, we had to write about who our hero was and I wrote about you. It's been 12 years since I wrote that essay and nothing has changed.

I honestly don't know how people can go through life without a sister, older or younger. You have always inspired me and guided my through my hard times. I have always had somebody to talk to about anything that's happening in my life and I can't thank you enough for that.

Now, I won't lie and say that we have always gotten along 100 percent of the time. We have had our fair share of fights over the years. I'd like to think that it only made our relationship stronger (okay and maybe our hair a little thinner). I'm sorry for all of the times I made you cry and told mom on you. But you did post a lot of embarrassing pictures of me on Facebook circa 2008.

But thank you for helping me deal with high school, sports, breakups, college and when mom and dad are being annoying (sorry mom, sorry dad). You always know the right thing to say and are always honest with me, whether I want to hear it or not. You know me better than anyone else I know, so I always trust you.

Now that we are adults, I just wanted to say that you will always be my best friend. You are such a smart and beautiful person and I have been so lucky to have been able to watch you accomplish so many things in your life. You are truly an incredible person.

Thank you for making time to talk to me daily, whether be in person or through FaceTime. I love that we be in the same house or halfway across the country from each other and nothing changes. We have our strong bond to thank for that.

Thank you for being so selfless. You do so much for you friends, family and for your job that it's unreal. I can only wish that one day I can mean to others what you mean to them.

I don't tell you enough how much I appreciate being your sister. It truly is an honor. You deserve to know how important you are.

You always have been and always will be my hero.

Thank you,

Your not-so-little-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.

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.
