When You Give A Girl A Brother, You Give A Blessing In Disguise
Kaylyn Atchison

When you give a girl a brother, you give her a best friend. You give her someone to run to the gas station with, someone to hang out with, someone to be a role model to. When you give a girl a brother, you give her a protector. You give her someone to be protected by, someone to judge every guy she ever brings home, and someone to make sure she is always safe. When you give a girl a brother, you give her a teacher. You give her someone to teach her how to fish, how to hunt, and how to be a tomboy. When you give a girl a brother, you give her a new life.

Having a brother is one of the best and possibly worst things that can happen to someone. They teach you how to do things, they help you, the protect you, and they help you experience a new life. The worst things about having a brother is fighting (fist fighting), sometimes annoying, and gross. Although having a brother is awesome, we don't realize it soon enough,

My brother has put me in headlocks, hit me, and called me names he didn't mean. But, he has also asked me to go with him to the gas station, go out and get food with him, and watch movies with him. Some days, he is too busy for family; some days, he'd rather be with his friends or fishing. But sometimes, he'd rather hang out at home and watch a movie or grab some food with you.

When you give a girl a brother, you give her a blessing in disguise. He will always be there for you even if you ditched him one time for your friends or you made him mad because you got your fishing line stuck. He may roughhouse with you, he may push you around and call you names, he may test your patience, but that is what brothers are for. They are there to help you throughout life and help teach you any lesson they can through many ways whether it be through annoyance, fun, or rough housing.

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.

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.
