A Note To My Big Sister

I guess you're kind of cool.

A Note To My Big Sister
SarrahBetz

Big Sister,

You're kind of cool I guess. I mean, we used to fight and bicker all the time, especially when you saw me in the same out and refused to let that happen, but I think we have gotten better as we have gotten older. That might, partly, be because we have such different styles and you dress so much classier than me, ya know, in my combat boots.

Anyway, I wanted thank you for always being the one to drive us everywhere, as you know I am lazy and hate driving. Also, thanks for always having to experience all this 'adulting' stuff first so I can ask you how to adult as the situations arise for me. (Remember when we had the same teacher or professor and I could use your notes instead of mine because I am a terrible note taker? I did good in school because of you... well, certain classes, anyway.)

I would also like to apologize for all those times I was a brat when we were younger. I guess I just liked abusing the 'little sister' stereotype and get you in trouble when you really didn't do anything. But, hey, you survived that and now you live on your own with a great job. You survived my wrath and our fighting... you can do anything!

You are a professional at putting up with being my, as I call it, 'personal stylist.' Whether it is when I Snapchat you early in the morning asking you if my outfit looks okay or if we are actually out shopping and I constantly ask you question after question. "Can I pull these pants off?" "Only if you don't go out in public."

Oh, and never let me forget to thank you for all the times you painted my nails with the fanciest designs, put up with my Friday night 80's dancing and singing and making me think I was funnier than I ever was while we played our games of 'Don't Make Me Laugh.'

You are a trooper. I don't know how you put up with me and my terrible antics as a kid. For all these reasons and more, you are pretty cool, and I'm super proud of where you are today. You may not know it, but I secretly look up to you. Why wouldn't I want to be happy doing something I like everyday?

Love,

Sis

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
