I don't have to like you, but I have to love you.

Sam,

I remember being little and begging mom to put you back in your crib because you annoyed me. Then, we got older, I would beg mom to keep you away from me. Now I don't mind you too much. I guess that's what happens when you finally realize your sister is your best friend.

I went from not wanting to spend any time with you, to being excited to hang out with you. Obviously, there are still times I need my space and you don't understand that, but for the most part, I think we get along pretty well. It's probably because your so controlling and I'm the complete opposite.

You might be difficult to get along with because you can be so mean, but I know occasionally you can be nice. I have had multiple teachers come up to me saying that you were such a nice student and I looked at them like they were crazy.

You drive everyone in the house absolutely insane, but you know it's better you than me. It drives me crazy when you yell at me to put my clothes away, but I guess I should just be happy you washed them for me.

I know I don't always say thank you for cleaning up after me and for being there for me when I need to rant. I do appreciate it a lot. I already know I'm your person and I guess low-key you are mine.

I'm always saying mom and dad should have stopped after me and you always say they should have stopped after you, but at the end of the day, I couldn't imagine my life without you and Jessie. I don't have to like you, but just know I love you.

I'm lucky to have a sister who takes such good care of me, even though you are a pain in the a**. You inspire me everyday to not care about what others think and to do whatever I want. I hope you have an amazing birthday! I love you Samster!

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.
