Dear Little Sister

Dear little sister,

I wish you were able to see just a glimpse of the way the I look at you. You keep growing up and constantly amazing me. I have watched you change and go through things that no 16-year-old should. But no matter what life throws at you, you take them and roll with it. Even if it means rolling up in your blankets like a burrito to nap.

Dear little sister, I love who you have turned me into. Life would have been a whole lot different without you. I would have nobody to pick on. I would have no one to drive me crazy. I would have no one to steal my cardigan that I needed for an interview. And as much as I wanna kick your rear end sometimes, I still put up with you gladly. With you, I have someone to rap within the car. With you, I have someone to watch Grey's Anatomy with. With you, I have someone to show me how to "properly" fill in my brows. With you, I have a best friend.

Dear little sister, I love how capable you are of love. Even at 16, you are able to have such love for things so beyond your age. You are strongly passionate, and I am so proud of you for that. You have a beautiful relationship that surpasses every single one that I've had. You can get jealous at times, but it just shows your dedication to what you have. You love animals more than humans. You happy cry at baby elephants, then sob when Sarah McLachlan comes on TV with those sad puppies. But that's all of us. "In the arms of an angel..."

Dear little sister, I love how you smile. Usually it's at the most random things. You have this particular smile when you take selfies. It's cute, but it's just for show. Your real smile comes out when I tickle you. Or when your boyfriend calls you beautiful. Or especially when I bring you Starbucks after school for no good reason. But seeing that little grin on your face always reminds me how magnificent of a person you are.

Dear little sister, I love your attitude. You are full of sass, and it's beautiful. It's a huge part of who you are. That little firecracker in you has a repeat explosion. Never burning out. You are in no way afraid to speak your mind, and that is such a valuable quality in the world today. You put your opinion out there and don't care who knows. Even if things don't go your way, you still make the best of it.

Dear little sister, I love that you are my person. During my darkest days, you were by my side. You didn't even know you were most of the time. You are the person I go to about everything. You are the person that makes my days better. You are the person I will have standing beside me when I eventually tie the knot And until the day the world stops, you will always be my little sister.

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.
