An Open Letter To My Brother

I am proud of you.

An Open Letter To My Brother
EmmaLee Haga

Dear Chad,

I love you.

It's not everyday that I get to see you. I only see you at holidays now or special occasions which isn't ideal. I wonder a lot how you're doing, and what you're doing. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about you. I miss you tons.

I have very few fond memories with you growing up, but the memories I do have make me smile. Even though you were rarely around, I knew that I loved you and wanted to be a part of your life forever. Luckily, we have recently reconnected and our bond is stronger than ever. No, it isn't what your typical brother/sister relationship is like, but it's enough for me. One day, I do hope that we can be closer because that's what Dad wants.

Dad wants the best for the both of us, and once he's gone, we will only have each other. I want you to know that I am proud of you despite all the crappy life choices you've made. You're finally realizing that you need to grow more as a person and show the world your true self.

I know you have it in you to do great things. All you need to do is set a goal and stick to it. You can do whatever you tell your mind to do, so do it. Please, for yourself, and your family who love you dearly.

Call me or text me sometime because I do miss you.

I love you Big Brother.

Love,

Your Little Sister

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.

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.
