When You Give A Girl Older Brothers

I adore my brothers more than anything in the world.

When You Give A Girl Older Brothers
Carlee Nichole

My family has always been anything but traditional. My father has three kids, by three different women, which is very normal in this day and age. My mother has another child after me by a different man. Again, this is very normal. I have never considered any of my siblings "half" siblings. I have two brothers. One is my dad's son and the other is my moms'. I grew up with my younger brother Logan. He was my live-in sibling and like most brothers and sisters, we fought all the time. We would beat on each other, scream at each other, rip out each others hair.

Today, Logan is my best friend. When I moved out of my house the hardest part was leaving him behind. Although it was only a 20 minute drive between us, life is busy for both of us. We have grown used to this and now when we see each other it is a great event. I would not trade that relationship for anything. And I am so happy my mom was right all those years about "he will be your best friend." My older brother and I are exactly 10 years apart. This has gotten in the way of us having a relationship a lot. It's harder for an older brother to grow close to a younger sister. What do you talk about? Today, my older brother Steven and I are working on this and it's getting better. He has a little one now, and I will do anything to be a part of her life. So while I always wished I was an only child, I wouldn't trade my brothers for the world.

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.
