An Open Letter To My Little Sister Who Is Also My Role Model
Cassie Nichols

Dear Sis,

It isn’t said enough how much I admire you. It’s hard being the big sister at times. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be the perfect role model. I’ve had my ups and downs, and I hope you have learned from some of my mistakes. The truth is, though, you’re one of my biggest role models. Remember that we are all human. Perfection isn’t attainable, and there's no need for it to be. I see so much potential in you, and I hope you see the same potential in yourself. Never stop chasing your dreams.

I know high school can be tough, but it teaches you valuable life lessons. What you take away from these lessons will mold and shape you into who you are. Remember to keep your morals in mind and don’t feel pressured to do something just because it’s “cool” at the time, because believe it or not, high school is not the end game.

I admire your sense of compassion and love for others. You are always the first to go out of your way to help someone else and put their needs before your own. I see this first-hand at home and through the time you put in at school, assisting those with a disability.

Your work ethic is unparalleled in everything you do. I have never seen you not giving 110%, whether it is in the classroom, on a sports team, or any other challenge that comes your way. Your dedication to the people and events that mean the most to you is inspiring.

When things don’t go your way, you have started handling yourself with grace and maturity, and I couldn't be prouder. I know life gets frustrating at times, but I want you to know that at 14-years-old (and even 20, like me), you won’t have all the answers to life. Just keep your head high, be humble, and always put forward your best effort.

Although I am off at college, I want you to know you can always to talk to me. I love hearing about your life and am only a phone call away. Thank you for being my best friend and an inspiration to me. I’m so proud of who you are and what you are becoming. I know that you are growing into an exceptional young lady and I am so blessed to be able to call you my little sister.

Love always

Big Sis

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?

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.
