My sorority sisters, that is.

A Letter To My Sisters
Samantha Steinmetz

I know I am not an initiated member, I know I am still one of the new girls. But, there is one thing I know for sure and that's I am so glad I joined this sorority. I grew up an only child and it's so amazing to finally have sisters. It's amazing to have such a big family.

I remember recruitment and how nervous I was. I remember shaking and trying to make the absolute best first impression. I guess I did with you guys. I remember bid day and how excited I was to open that envelope. I remember how excited I was to go take pictures and talk and finally really get to know everyone.

Everyone welcomed me home with open arms.I felt like I belonged with you guys. I still feel like I belong with you guys. It's so easy to be myself around everyone. With you girls, I always have someone to talk to, study with, laugh with, and vent to. I have 27 girls rooting for me and there to support me. I have a great big. I have great mentors. I have great sisters. I have great friends. I have a great support system. I'm having the best time of my life. I love you guys. I am so thankful I joined.

I can't wait for the next 2 and a half years of adventures, laughter, study tables, mixers, and time with you guys. I am proud to be a member of such a fun, caring, loving, and loyal group of girls. I am proud to call you girls my sisters.

I can't wait to see what our futures hold together. The good times and the bad times, I am excited for everything that may come our way. No matter what I know I will have you guys supporting me while I support all of you.

Here's to a lifetime of sisterhood together!

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:

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.
