14 Things Only People With An Older Brother Will Understand

My older brother has been begging me for about a year now to write an article honoring him. Every time I have just laughed at him, thinking one day it will happen. Well, today is that day. My brother is the best older sibling I could ask for. He is funny, mentoring, and charismatic. I could not have asked for a better person to be my role model. So, here are a few things that only younger siblings will understand with an older brother!

1. When you're growing up, you only want to imitate what your older brother does. For girls, that means being involved in physical activities or getting excited about sports games, which is not an entirely bad thing!

(Literally my brother and I trying to get on the jumbotron at hockey games)

2. When your older brother is protective, it's the best feeling.

3. You can always count on your brother to give you the truth.

4. I'm pretty confident every older brother has burped and blown it in their younger sibling's face.

5. Personal space is literally not existent.

6. You both get to tag team your younger sibling/ older sibling powers to get each parent to do what you want.

7. When your older brother is basically good at everything.

8. As a team, you have broken something of your mom's at least once.

9. When you can't get away with anything because your parents already know how to handle kids.

10. But, you're the younger sibling so you don't get a bad punishment.

11. The teasing literally never stops.

12.You just shouldn't believe everything your older brother tells you.

13. Hiding food from your older brother so he won't eat it all.

14. When you sit back and realize that having an older, playful brother is the best.

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.

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.
