A Letter To My Future Niece
Beatriz Rea

Dear Camila,

Everyone always talks about their nieces and nephews, posts cute pictures with them for their birthdays or holidays and I was left wondering what this was like. But thanks to you now I will find out, and let me tell you I CANT WAIT!!

I might know absolutely nothing about being an aunt or what I'm supposed to do, but know that I will be the coolest aunt you could ever wish for, or at least I will try my hardest. I will teach you everything about life so as you grow older you will know how to deal with every situation. I will teach you how to dance to Spanish music and how to do your makeup. I'll even let you do mine if you wish to! And you won't ever be broke, because I will always have your back.

But most importantly, I look forward to being a role model. I can't wait to be someone you go to for advice when you need it most, because I will always be there even if you just need to vent. Whether it's friendship or relationship advice, you can learn from my mistakes. I'm a phone call away in the middle of the day or at 2 am. And I will always stick up for you. When your parents say no or your friends disappoint you, mine will be the shoulder you can cry on. I promise to love you with every part of my heart.

And when the time comes, I will do your makeup and get you ready for prom. You will be the prettiest girl there. I will have all the answers you need when you feel like you can't ask your mom a certain thing. I'm both your aunt and your friend, and your secrets are safe with me. And if you decide to play any sport, I will be your #1 fan. You don't need to worry because I will make sure you become a cheerleader, I promise.

Although I have some competition on who is going to be your favorite aunt, I have no doubt that it will be me (lol). I'll definitely be the cool aunt. So that being said, I can't wait for everything that is about to come. I count down the days to finally meet you, to finally hold you and hear your laughter. Also, to find out what its like to love a little person more than anything and anyone. But most importantly, knowing that it can begin any day now.

“Only an Aunt can give hugs like a mother, keep secrets like a sister, and love like a friend."

I Love You already,

Auntie Beatriz, xoxo

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.

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.

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.
