You can always count on me.

Why Little Brothers Are Simply The Best
Hannah Booker

Little brothers…boy can they be annoying.

My little brother will run into the house holding a dead squirrel in my face, he will burp as loud as he can on purpose in front of me, he will leave my car a complete wreck, and he might even say some extremely embarrassing things about me to my boyfriend.

My patience is tested on a daily basis by having a little brother, but he’s just so darn cute that I can’t stay mad for too long.

You see, he may annoy me and drive me crazy, but as we get older I’m starting to see that at the end of the day I know he will always be on my team, he will always be on my side until the end, and encourage me to be the best version of myself that I can be.

My brother and I have a six-year age gap, and I love getting to watch him grow. He’s grown from that little snaggle tooth boy hitting off a baseball tee, to a teenager who won’t even let me wave to him in the car line anymore.

There is so many times when I’ve been too bossy, I’ve tried to talk to him like I’m his mom, and I’ve had a bad attitude to him for no reason at all.

We have most definitely had our ups and downs but, I love coming home and seeing his smiling face, hearing about his day at school, listening to the latest middle school drama (goodness has it changed since I was 13!), and watching him be a ball boy next to my daddy on football Friday nights.

My brother may think that I don’t care, and that I’m always just trying to get him in trouble, but I hope he knows that he will be my best friend forever. I don’t care where the wind blows him, I will be there supporting him every step of the way.

I am so proud of the heart he has. I love watching him grow and turn into the precious young man that he is becoming.

Next time your little brother drives you up the wall, take a deep breath and remind yourself of how much he looks up to you and relies on you, how much he loves you, and how important it is that we older siblings set a good example.

So, to the halloween baby boy that broke my six year only child streak, I hope that you know how loved you are and that you can always count on me.

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:

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.
