I miss you.

An Open Letter To My Little Sister

To My Little Sister,

Hi. I miss you. I miss running around the house trying to get the cats to chase us. I miss going to get ice cream and singing horribly to the radio. I miss getting annoyed with you when you would use that one voice that I still think is super creepy. I miss sitting on the couch all day on Sunday watching the Hallmark channel and trying not to cry because we know there’s a happy ending. I miss going to your soccer games and having a mini-heart attack every time the other teams shoots on you. I miss trying to convince dad to let us have ice cream for the third time that day. I miss people telling us we look identical. I miss you.

And I’m sorry that I have to move three states away right when you are going into middle school and then the even scarier high school. I’m sorry that I don’t text you every day like I promised. And every time I hear about something dramatic that happens at school my heart hurts because I’m not there for you. We both know we can just pick up the phone and the other will answer, but that seems so much harder than walking down the hall and opening a door.

But I hope that I’m doing okay as a sister. I hope that you know you can always tell me anything. I hope that you know I love you more than anything and I am so proud of the amazing person that you’ve become.

You know the saying; “We may fight but I’d fight the world for you”? Well, it’s true. I will fight to be the best sister I can be.

~Your Big 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.

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.
