Having A Little Brother Is The Best
Cassidy Springer

Anyone who has a little brother knows how much of a blessing and a curse it can be. Having a little brother means you have someone who will always have your back while annoying you at every single chance possible. I have learned so many things from having a little brother. I have learned patience during 17-hour car rides of being poked in the back of the head and how to love others too. As much as we have had our ups and downs, I wouldn't change having a little brother for anything.

He will always protect you

Some boy break your heart? He's there to comfort you and throw in empty threats. Friends messing with you? He's ready to step in. He's not willing to let anyone hurt you. The only person who is allowed to mess with you is him.

He will always support you

After years and years of boring and lengthy dance competitions, he was always there to cheer for me every second I was on the stage. When I got into my dream school, he was right next to me to share my excitement. When I first got my license, he was always down to deal with my crazy driving.

He shows interest in your interests

Me and my brother tend to be as opposite as they come. Considering the fact that my interests usually involve makeup and his are mudding, it's really nice that he at least pretends to care about what I love to do.

He has your back

Sometimes, literally. It's nice knowing someone will always be there for you if you fall. After doing an all day hike, he was next to me helping me and looking after me. Having a forever friend is the greatest.

He will love you no matter what

There's a bond that siblings have that can rarely be broken. Having a little brother is like having someone who will watch you fall a thousand times, pick you up, and still love you. Through the fights and the arguments, I would still do anything for him and I know he would do the same for me.

I had no clue what my parents meant when they told 3-year-old me that I have a baby brother. I am so thankful to have someone who will always be there for me. Love you to the moon and back, D.

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.

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.
