To My Older Brothers, Thanks For Always Having My Back
Marlee Nickow

Dear Bros,

Growing up, my friends always asked me If having brothers who were so much older than me was an annoyance or a pain. I would always say, "No...okay well maybe sometimes, but they are the best!"

Yes, living with so many boys who had control over everything was a tad annoying. I'm talking choosing the show to watch, getting our parents to drive them places, and getting the black computer over the white (haha if you know you know). I remember trying to practice reading and you guys would run in an interrupt so many times. I would yell, which only made you do it more. It was truly a fun game!

I was in first grade when you guys first went off to college, so I did not even live with you for that long. Soon enough, I was choosing the shows to watch. I got the rides. I even got the bathroom that I once shared with three boys all to myself. Amazing. While having a clean bathroom and a quieter house was nice, I did at times miss the chaos that would go down.

Now that we are all out of the house, I can honestly say that I wish we got to spend more time living tougher. As we have grown up, the age gap has not seemed as prominent. I never believed mom when she would tell me that we would all get closer as we got older, but that is 100% true. The six years that we all lived under the same roof were the most fun and loud times.

Thank you for always having my back and being there for me, and know that I will always be there for you.

You guys are my best friends, and I know that will never change. You will always be my older brothers and I will always be your younger sister, but one thing that is for sure is that the age gap will never tear us apart.

I love you,

Love, your much younger and favorite sister

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
