An Open Letter For My Sister

What would the world be without you?

What would I do without you? When I was little I would’ve never thought we would be as close as we are today. My younger self would’ve never believed me if I were to go back and tell her. Now in 2017, you are the most important person in my life; the person I run to for advice on problems I have.

I remember when we used to live at our old house back in Milton, you would always take care of me when mom or dad were at work. I would always seem to do the most stupid things anyone could ever think of! I remember the time where I almost choked on that quarter and you came in and saved me. Or the times where we would go to parties and I was always with you because I was so shy. I always remember when I started school, you came on the bus with me so I wouldn't get lost because we have just moved to our new home. Then that one time in the new house where I was climbing on the tall dresser and it fell on top of me. You and Daniel came running into the room and helped me out. Yeah, I was a pretty dumb kid growing up.

When you first went to SDSU for college and Daniel went to St. Cloud, I was heartbroken. It was only me and my parents at home and things tend to get a bit boring at home with no one to talk to. We would often text each other, but not very much as you were busy with school. When you returned from school for the weekends and holidays it was fun having you guys around again. I wouldn't admit to anyone at the time, but I missed you guys a lot. Especially you.

As we have gotten older we have gotten closer together than before and have made amazing memories. My freshman year of high school was not the best year for me, but you helped me through it. I love that we like some of the same things. Like watching the Vampire Diaries, The Originals and talk about makeup. We always have something to talk about and it is never is it a boring day with you.

Now I am a Senior in High School and it's almost time for graduation. I am writing to this for you. I wanted to say thank you; thank you so much for everything you have done for me. Thanks for taking care of me, giving me advice and being there when I needed you there. I love you so much and no one will ever replace you in this world.

Sincerely, your baby 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.
