I still wonder if you ever loved me.

To My Sister Who Was Never There, Thank You

Para mi hermana querida,

Sis, our father was too young when he had you with your mother but you still came into this world. Who knew you would've come with such hate towards me. What did I ever do? I've asked myself that for the past 19 years of my life.

Thank you for not being there when I was born.

Thank you for not being there for my first birthday or on any of my birthdays.

Thank you for always being the last one to congratulate me on my birthday, a day late.

Thank you for never being there to teach me to ride a bike or to read a book.

Thank you for never teaching me about periods or bras.

Thank you for never teaching how to conquest my crush.

Thank you for never me there for my high school graduation.

Thank you for never giving me your shoulder to cry on.

I still wonder if you ever loved me. You never mentioned to me but neither did I. Our father would constantly talk nice about you. But you would constantly talk crap about me.

How is it my fault I came into this world? How is it my fault your boyfriend cheats on you every time? How is it my fault you have different dads for all three kids of yours?

I never grew up with you but thank you. Thank you for those times you made me cry.

Thank You for those times you cursed me out and told me, I wasn't going to get anymore.

This is your hermanita, telling you today. Thank you because, in one way or another, you made me stronger. I learned how to ride a bike. I learned to read. I handle my first crush pretty great. I graduated from high school with honors. Soon this girl who was supposedly a nobody will be the best Physician Assitant there is in God's name. So, thank you, sis.

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.
