To My Younger Sisters

I wouldn't trade the world for the bond we have.

To My Younger Sisters
Georgia Kate Crawford

To my younger sisters,

I never believed people when they said: "I promise y'all will get so close when you get older." Honestly, I don't think any of us did consider we would fight over the way one of us was breathing, sitting, or looking at one another. I am going to be honest- we hated each other. Well, we hated each other for like 10 minutes. Swearing we were never going to talk to each other and that we wished we were never sisters, but making up 5 minutes after arguing.

Never forget fighting over who got the front seat, who got the aux, or "Why are you wearing my shirt without asking???" It's kinda funny looking at all of the things we fight about daily because ultimately I think it's what made us closer.

I wouldn't trade the bond we have for the world. I seriously don't now what I would do without y'all. While I may be someone y'all look up to, just know you both have been 2 of the biggest blessings in my life. I look at your accomplishments and attitudes and it inspires me more and more each day. You'll never know how thankful I am that God made us sisters.

I hope you both learn from my mistakes but follow your own dreams. You don't have to follow every step I take. Make your own decisions and live your life confidently. Just know no matter what I will always be there for you and support you every step of the way. I wouldn't want to go through life with anyone else.

We have each other to lean on, face our fears and problems with, and even have each other to laugh with. Nothing beats our inside jokes and memories we have with each other.

College has taught me more life lessons than I could ever imagine. One of those being never to take your family for granted. They will always be your biggest support system. No matter what life throws your way or where it takes you, they will always be by your side supporting you. That being said, I hope y'all realize how much I appreciate both of you and know that even though it's just 80 miles down the road I know it seems like a lifetime away. I am only one phone call away, always.

'I thank my God every time I remember you' (Philippians 1:3).

With love,

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.

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.
