My Little Sister Is My Best Friend
Stacey Navarro

When I was little, people always told me that when I get older my sister would become my best friend. I never ever believed it. My sister and I used to fight all the time. Not just the typical arguments, my sister and I used to actually physically fight each other. I remember kicking her in the stomach and knocking her to the ground and walking away as if it was no big deal. I just never would of thought that she would become one of my best friends.

My little sister and I are eighteen months apart from each other. Maybe that’s why we used to fight all the time as kids. We were always so close in age and pretty much had to do everything together. It was just something that we did not like to have to do. Of course, there were times when we were playing together like best friends, but that probably lasted about ten minutes before we started fighting each other. She used to bite me on the back, push me into bathtubs, and push me down the stairs. She was so mean. I mean I wasn’t much better, I did kick her in the stomach. We used to buttheads all the time!

It was not until my junior year of college that we actually started to become really close. Actually, that was when we became best friends and I realized that everyone was right. As we grow up, our siblings become our best friends and biggest fans. How did we become so close?

When my sister was in high school she had her heart broken and it tore her apart. She hit rock bottom and I watched her. It happened again the summer before my junior year of college, and again I watched her hit rock bottom. The beginning of my junior year, I had my heart broken and I hit rock bottom. I hit rock bottom fast and was just not able to climb back up. It wasn’t until my sister stepped in that I began to recover from having the most devastating thing happen to me.

She had experience with what I was going through and she ended up becoming my biggest support system. We both recovered together, we started to do more and more together and just be there for each other. It was so weird to just see us be able to spend time with each other and not fight at all. We recently went on a vacation to Florida and managed to spend a whole week without fighting at all. My parents were impressed to say the least.

Maybe it happened for a unique reason or maybe this is how most siblings become close, but I did not ever expect this to happen. People were right about us becoming best friends. I guess in a sense we could thank our ex boyfriends for breaking our hearts because it brought us closer. I mean she is now my best friend!

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.
