Oh the joy you get of finding out that you are either getting a new younger sibling, or that when you came into this world you already had a sibling anxiously waiting on your arrival. Having a sibling can the best and worst times throughout your life. It is not always rainbows and butterflies, but it also isn’t only rain and thunderstorms either.

Your sibling can be like your twin at times you are both on the same page thinking the exact same thing at the exact same time, or then at other times can be your polar opposite. They can be your competition always competing to be the “favorite” child or the one better at a certain thing. Or they can be your companion when trying to prank your mom. They are the ones you want to be around when they are gone, but also the ones you want to be gone the moment they are around. The only one that can save you from getting in trouble, or the one that gets you in trouble. The one that calls you the meanest names that make you cry, but also the only one that is allowed to call you those mean names. Because if anyone else does they get pound. The one that you look up to at times and wish you were, and at other times wish you weren’t. The one that you scream and fight with, but the only one that can make you laugh so hard you have tears falling from your eyes.

Having a sibling is like having a best friend and a worst enemy all in one. They can be that one and only person at the time that truly understands you. The bond that siblings share is like no other bonds that you will ever experience. I know for me personally I am the only girl and the youngest and I wouldn’t trade my two older brothers for the world. Yes, they do get on me about everything because I am their baby sister, but they are my very best friends. We always come to each other for everything especially making big decisions. Because it just doesn’t feel right making that decision without knowing that it is the right decision. I mean you wouldn’t make a big decision without confirming with your best friends now would you?

Siblings are the best gifts that God and your parents could ever give to you. Having a sibling is so important, and has such a huge impact on your life. Siblings are people that come into your life rather you want them to or not, but man you are sure glad they did once they are here.If you have a sibling you always have a friend.

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.
