If You Give A Boy A Sister
The Odyssey Online

If you give a boy a sister, he probably won't like it at first.

and chances are when he sees her for the first time in your mother's arms, he might wish that she was a boy instead.

He may think about all the things he would be able to do with his sibling if she were a boy.

When he sees her cry for the first time, he might ask to hold her.

Then while he holds her in his arms, he will probably make a promise to himself to love her anyways.

When he promises to himself to love her always, he realizes that he might have to protect her.

So he might ask his mother if he can go wherever she goes.

He will lay beside her as she sleeps.

He will be there when she cries,

He will be there when she wakes up.

He will be there as she grows.

As he gets older, he realizes that she can be a little bit annoying.

She may pick fights with him, or play the blame game.

He may think for just a moment that he hates her, but he knows in his heart that is a lie.

When she annoys him, he may just start a play wresting match.

He probably would be able to win every time, but he lets her win anyways.

She may gloat a little too much afterwards, that he'll get frustrated .

So he may rain on her parade and say that he let her win.

It would probably make her cry, and he would feel bad.

So he will probably give her a hug, and apologize.

When he apologizes, he will probably promise to himself to never make her cry again.

He doesn't like it when tears flow down her cheeks.

So when her heart gets broken for the first time, he will be there.

He may think about tracking down the person who left her broken, but he realizes that she needs him more than ever.

When he realizes that she will always need him, he vows to be her best friend.


When you give a boy a sister, he may not like her at first...

but chances are, he'll love her anyway.


Inspired by the classic children's story If You Give A Mouse A Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff.

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.
