Thank you for always being there.

To the Girl Who Became My Little Sister
Done By: Bri Nicole

I have always been the type of girl who had more male friends than female. It wasn't until my mid twenties that I really started to hang out with females more; probably due to my “biological clock" ticking. But, no matter what age I have been, there has only been that one girl. The one girl who was more than my best friend. She became a little sister I never knew I wanted.

See, I grew up with two brothers and I am the youngest. So, I never got to experience what it was like to have a sister. But as we grew together, she became more like family than some of my actual family. I got to experience all the wonders of what it was like to have a sister.

We laugh. We cry. We fight. She borrows my clothes when we go out. I get to do her make up and her hair. We talk trash about boys and anything else we can talk about. We are weird. And she drives me nuts. But, at the end of the day, I could not be more proud to have her in my life.

I saw her grow in high school. I coached her and watched her strive in basketball. I got to see her success and got to celebrate with her. She went through breakups with me. She stood by my side as a single pregnant soon-to-be mother of a son. She has always been the go to. My ride or die. My sister for life.

I don't know what I would do without her.

So, to the girl who became my little sister,

You drive me nuts, but at the end of the day, I would not want to experience this crazy life without you. I would not have been able to get through some of the crazy shit I have gone through. I will always have your back the way you have mine and will forever be grateful to you. My son is so lucky to have such a great auntie like you in his life.

So thank you. Thank you for being you.

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.
