Happy Birthday To My Soul Sister
Kara Hickey

My Dearest Florence,

On January 9, 1995, the world was blessed with a wonderful gal named Christina, and guess what? That's you! Twenty-two years later and you're still my best friend. I thought since twenty-two isn't a huge birthday, I'd make it one by writing an article about you.

Having your best friend as your cousin is honestly the best because we are always going to have to love each other no matter what. It is seriously my favorite thing knowing that I can walk across the street and I am at your house. Knowing that you are literally always there, whether or not you know I am coming or not. I want to thank you for always supporting me on everything. Whether it was a decision or something I did, you are always by my side.

Thank you for treating me more like a sister than a cousin, and even more like a sister than just a friend. Thank you for sticking by my side during my darkest days, and being there to enjoy my lightest days as well. Thank you for helping me become an adult along with you, even though being an adult sucks! Thank you for letting your puppies be mine, and your brothers mine too. Most importantly, thank you for being the role model I have looked up to for as long as I can remember. I only hope one day I can be half the woman that you are.

Always remember how much people love you, and to never stop following your heart. Have a wonderful birthday, and remember I love you always.

Enjoy your day, Wilma

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.
