Family really is forever.

A Letter To My Growing Sorority Family
Karsen Cinquepalmi

Dear Sorority Family (Basically Eat Family),

I do not think there are enough words in this world to describe what you mean to me, but I'm going to try and do it anyways. Through all of the ups and downs that college throws my way, you are always my number one cheerleaders. Sometimes, I feel that we can take these things for granted and get caught up in the moment. So, I wanted to take some time out of my crazy life to tell you what you have done for me.

To my awesome Big: Thank you for being the old sister I have never had. It is very hard knowing that I will not have you around next year to dance on bar tables with or eat terrible food from the food court at the mall. We've had our ups and downs but I think the best advice I have gotten in this college experience thus far has come from you. You probably the person I admire most (yes, even more than Beyoncé) and I strive to be half the person you are. My hope is that I can be that kind of positive role model for my Littles and that they love me as much as I love you.

To my two perfect Littles: You guys rock. I feel so honored to be your mentor, best friend, sister, crying buddy, going out partner, etc. I think I have learned so much about myself by having the both of you in my life. It was never my intentions to take twins, but once I met you both, I knew I could not live without you in my life. Thank you for all the love you give me and always being there to dance it out on an elevated surface, bring me coffee when I am having a crappy day or collectively hating the boys that screw us over together. You both are going to make amazing Bigs and I cannot wait to see how you make an impact on your Littles' life, but please don't forget about me!

Last but definitely not least, my Grand-Littles: I know we just met, but I love you with all of my heart already because that is what family is all about. You both are beyond blessed with the best Bigs in the world I cannot wait to watch you grow and get your own Littles within the next year. You are joining a very close-knit family who would literally do everything and anything for each other. Whether it is taking you to urgent care when you are convinced your foot is broken or sending you obnoxious cat videos to make you laugh when a boy is being stupid, you will find that in this family. Get ready to be smothered with an ungodly amount of affection.

I know everyone says this, but college would not be the same without you. Thank you for being my home away from home and my forever family. I cannot wait to see where life brings us in the next few years, but no matter the distance, we will always be family.

Love,

Your Favorite Family Member

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
