An Open Letter To My New Sisters
Maddie Wagner

Dear sisters,

I just joined your sorority. Well, I guess it's mine now too. It's a new thing, but at the same time, it's not. I got used to having a bunch of girls around all the time with my dance team. But this is different because now I'm the younger one. Between my dance team and my little sister, I was always the role model. It's strange that now I have someone to look up to.

I'm really glad to have you all, but I'm also nervous that I won't find the love that I see between all of you. I do know that right now, I'm having a lot of fun. I want to feel that same love that you all have for each other. It's so apparent how much you truly care about each other just from the few interactions between you I have seen in the few days I've been your sister.

The process of recruitment was so stressful, but you wonderful girls make it all worth it. I know we are going to grow into a big family and have each other's backs, always. I really think I am in the right place. It was a pretty easy choice, too. I know that God heard me praying that I end up where I should, and I think He answered me when I got a bid from Alpha O.

We don't all know each other yet, so here are a few things you should know about me. I stress out way too much. I work way too hard. I am always here for you when you need me. I am not very good at managing my time. I am a little shy at first, but oh just you wait until I get over that. I am silly. I like to be busy. I am loud. I love helping other people. I'm a little crazy. And I'm your sister.

I can't wait for all the memories that I will make with you all. You are all wonderful women, and I'm lucky to have the opportunity to get to know you and love you. You ladies are incredible, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes us!

Lots of love,

Your new 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:

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.

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.
