I have no idea what I would do without you.

To My Younger Sisters, I'm Lucky To Have You As My Built-In Best Friends
Lauren Trimble

My sisters are the absolute best. As I've gotten older, I've realized just how lucky I am to have these "built-in" best friends. I love being the oldest and acting as a mentor and friend to both of them.

We really help one another. As I start college in less than a month, I want my sisters to know that just because we'll be a little farther away from one another, the bond that we have won't ever change.

My sisters, I love you with all of my heart. I'm so proud of the people that you are, and all of your accomplishments. Like me, you're both going to be starting a new chapter soon; high school.

Try to enjoy all of your high school years because you'll blink and you'll be at your senior prom wondering how it all went by so fast. But, also remember that your life is just beginning after high school. It's, by no means, the be-all-end-all. Don't take what jealous people say to heart, and know that not everyone is going to have the same heart as you.

Be kind to everyone that you meet because you truly don't know what people are going through in their personal lives. Thank the people who go the extra mile to make your life easier. We often take them for granted.

Know that you are enough one million times over. And, you are loved beyond anything you can imagine. No one can ever take that away from you.

Thank you both for teaching me what being a friend means. Some of my favorite moments are spent with us talking about everything, and nothing at all. I'm looking forward to all of us getting closer in the coming years. Thank you for challenging me to be a better person.

Whenever I'm faced with difficult choices, I try to make the one that I know would make you proud. Because, honestly, I look up to you both just as much as you look up to me.

Most importantly, thank you for letting me be your big sister. Out of all of the things that I'm proud of, being your sister is up at the top of the list.

I love you endlessly.

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.
