An Open Letter to my Step Parents & Step Siblings

Dear Step mom & dad,

Thank you for being the best you can be for my parents. Yes, it was tough at first because I thought it was different from other families, but I eventually moved on from that struggle because you guys will always be family to me through thick and thin. You not only try hard to make this family great, but you love to make us all laugh, which is a great feature to have.

Some people don’t understand what it’s like to have both of their parent’s remarried or even just divorced in general. If parent’s divorce while you were still a young child, you might be confused about why this happened or why my family is different from others? It’s hard adjusting to that at first, but then both parents remarry and are both happy. You think to yourself that all I want is for them to be happy and if they are both happy, then I am happy.

Once both parents remarry to someone else, things become a little different and sometimes even difficult, but overall, you are happy with your step parents because they treat your mother and father the way you hoped that they would treat them. They’re sort of like a best friend to you.

To my Step siblings,

Thank you for being you and always having my back like a true sibling and best friend would. Being your step sibling has been a blessing since day one when our parents married. We’ve had so many laughs and good times and I couldn’t be more thankful. Family is everything and I would do anything to just be with them. We do have our tough times however, just like any other sibling would. Just don’t forget that no matter where we are, I always have your back, like you always do for me. Thank you for all you do for me.

Sincerely,

Your step daughter/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.

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:

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.
