7 Things To Be Grateful To Your Big Brother For
Megan McCabe

Many of you have older siblings, and odds are a good number of you have an older brother. My brother may have been annoying but he was always there for me. So here are some things that I can be grateful for having an older brother.

1. He taught me to play video games

Granted I still stink, and when we used to play two player for Halo, I got yelled at a lot for dying. When we were little we used to play NHL on the GameCube. Still now one of the biggest things that we talk about are the new games coming out for the switch.

2. Driving me around

Even though I know you were mostly forced to by mom and dad. Thanks anyway. Also for letting me use your car when I wanted to go to friends houses. Even now when I cover shifts at other stores, you're still willing to drive me.

3. For the Hockey trips that we got to go on

This one kind of is mom's doing too but I remember getting to miss school to go on the trips your team did. It was always a lot of fun. I even remember finding a Wii in Wisconsin and hearing/seeing a lot of fights both in stands and on ice. Thank you.

4. For calling me to check on how I am

You send me pictures of the dogs when I am missing them. Whenever I call mom upset you call me right after and check how I am doing. Thank you for that.

5. Buying me food

Thank you for buying me food when you stop somewhere. Even when you make me go get it you still pay.

6. For watching the Hawks Game with me

Thank you for letting me watch the games with you in your room. This helped me figure out what I wanted to major in and my dream career. Also, I enjoyed getting $20 from you to run to Walgreens and get snacks between the first and second period.

7. Tormenting me

Mostly I am thankful for this because when people ask me why I am a nervous wreck I get to blame you. Your fault. Entirely. So thanks for traumatizing me.

Thank you for being a big brother. I know tormenting me is part of the job but when I come for weekends that does not mean you get to be extra annoying since I will not see you for a while. I love you Chris your a good big brother under the many many layers of evil.

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.
