If You Want To Mess With Me, You Gotta Go Through My Sisters First

They are my bodyguards, my biggest supporters, and the hands that wipe my tears away.

If You Want To Mess With Me, You Gotta Go Through My Sisters First
Erica Wriedt

Although we fight like cats and dogs, I always want to remind you both that I love you. You have been my best friends and role models for me since day one. Because of you two, I have learned to work hard, be kind, and good things will come to you. After entering college, I realized how much you mean to me, and I began to appreciate all the time we have spent together. Nothing could ever replace the bond we keep. I know you will drop anything in a heartbeat to help me, and I am so lucky to have two great sisters by my side.

Yes, we pull hair, throw punches, push and shove, but it is all out of love. No perfect relationship exists. There has to be hatred shown at some point. I apologize for my rude comments, ignoring you, and especially the nasty bruises. It amazes me that no matter how much we fight, nothing will ever break the bond that we have.

I am extremely lucky to have not only one but two older sisters that I can look up to. You are both completely different people, but I have definitely learned a whole lot. I have learned to never give up through any bump in the road. There is always a path to follow around those bumps. I have also learned to work hard every day and you should never stop reaching for what you really want in life. There have been several occasions when I wanted to give up on various aspects of life, but you two always encouraged me to keep moving and reminded me that if you love something, never let it go.

I know we will always have each other’s backs, and I love to say “if you want to mess with me, you must go through my sisters first.” Whether it be picking up the phone at three o’clock in the morning to listen to my problems or simply telling me that everything is going to be ok. I know I can get the best advice and support from my own two sisters.

You are my bodyguards, my biggest supporters, and the hands that wipe my tears away. I cannot wait to see what great success the future holds for all you.

Pick on me once, I’ll yell at you.

Pick on me twice, I’ll get revenge.

But always stay by my side. All the love.

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.
