A Letter To My Sister On Her Graduation Day
Tia Amabile

Dear Sister,

You did it. You made it through college alive. Although these are said to be the "best four years of your life," I have no doubt in my mind that you will have a lifetime full of amazing years. I'm so proud of you, your accomplishments, and how you've always managed to do everything with a smile on your face and kindness in your heart.

You possess more heart than anyone I've ever known and I know that will take you far. New beginnings can be scary. The unknown intimidates us, but that's precisely what pushes you to grow. I've watched you grow as a person these past few years and you have blossomed into quite the young lady. Any company, man, dog, plant ... basically anything would be lucky to have you.

I know it can be hard to get over the feeling that everything is ending. Within these last few months, the word graduation has often been met by seniors with a cringe or a tear in their eye. You go from being in your favorite clubs and seeing familiar faces every day to relying on social media and FaceTime to stay in touch. But in those moments of sadness when you are mourning the "death" of your college career, just think back on how blessed you are to have had such wonderful things and people brought into your life that make you so sad to be without them. Memories are forever.

You've had your ups and you've had your downs. What amazes me is no matter what the situation, you handle it with maturity and grace. That's just what makes you ... you. If you're ever feeling lost, just remember that you have a whole family that adores you. We're your biggest supporters and will always be here to pick you up when you're feeling low.

No matter where life takes you. I've always got your back homie. Go make me proud(er than I already am)!

Love,

Your Biggest Fan

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
