I'm glad I was blessed to enough to have you as my sibling.

A Letter To My Little Brother
Cheyenne Pauls

We may fight, we may bicker, we may even ignore each other for a few days but I am terribly thankful you are in my life. I know I haven’t also been so nice but that doesn’t matter when I still have your back when it comes to important things. I know I didn’t always want to hang with you but now your older and don’t want to hang with me, oh how the tables have turned.

I’m glad I have you, cause I mean if I didn’t who would I have crazy stories with that even best friends can’t compete with? Times when we were home alone and playing video games, defending against zombies and screaming bloody murder and scaring the neighbors. The family walked up and they were concerned to what all the racket was. That was priceless!

If I didn’t have you who would’ve leveled out my girliness with cool things like Hot Wheels and playing cars and dinosaurs. Those days were the best and I miss them. But now we can play real cars, with racing video games and get competitive enough to beat each other because goodness knows only you can make me competitive.

And what about that time when we were shovelling snow and one of us had the bright idea to bring a wheelbarrow through the house? Who’s idea could’ve that been? But being able to share those ridiculous moments where you know the parents won’t be happy but you do it anyway because it is a great idea at the time. I mean come on, that was an awesome idea, just like the idea of having our own “Survival Games” and losing half our stuff in the middle of the woods. That was beautiful.

Another thing, we have each other's backs. We went through that tattle faze and we may tattle to be jerks but for the most part we don’t rat on each other. Not even for the petty staying up later than you should or even eating where we aren’t supposed to. Even when we gang up on the parents to tease them and be the butts we are.

I know we fight, and wow we arguing and have petty arguments often of goofy things like the front seat of the car or who gets the downstairs tv but even if we fight we can still makeup and have good times. Or when we know we're out of line we make up easily like the one time you knocked my glasses off. That was a doozy, but I’m glad we just laughed about it. If we didn’t fight we wouldn’t be siblings but the good thing is that it doesn’t stick. Even when I throw my cup at you when you scare me.

Boy are you good at scaring me, though my heart nearly jumps from my chest it’s always fun to have that war of who can scare who. You’re better than me, and it’s just absolutely frustrating. Especially when I’m up playing video games in the middle of the night with the lights off.

And most of all. I have found I am ridiculously proud of you. I am proud of who you are and how insanely talented you are with everything you do. From sports, to music, to even computer game editing and on top of all that you are still humble and a good person. You have your flaws, but so do I. We’re different people but we are brother and sister, we will always look after each other.

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.
