10 Thank Yous To My Older Sisters
Anisha Patel

Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays. Not only because of the amazing food, but because of the time we get to spend with family. More specifically, all of my sisters and cousin sisters are together, and there is truly no one else like them. Every year, I am thankful for their presence in my life.

Here are 10 thank yous I have this ear for my sisters:

1. Always picking up the phone.

I called ten times a day, and they pick up ten times. Even when I have the dumbest things to talk about.

2. Knowing me inside and out.

This really speaks for itself. You know all my triggers, the things that make me happy, sad, and all that lies in between.

3. Loving me unconditionally.

Little sisters can be kinda terrible. Thanks for not giving up on me yet.

4. Listening to me rant.

College is stressful, the people are stressful, and you always know exactly who everyone is in my stories. During all of my ten phone calls a day.

5. Talking to me when it's dark outside.

Walking through campus in the dark while you're alone is actually the worst thing. So lucky to have people who keep me company virtually whenever I have to do it.

6. Keeping me in my place.

Sometimes I get out of hand or unreasonable, and I can always bet on you to keep me grounded.

7. Giving me all of the unsolicited advice.

Advice I want, advice I don't want, all advice is welcome and appreciated.

8. All of the hand me downs I've ever needed.

I can't remember the last time I actually paid money for something in my closet. It is a true blessing.

9. Helping me with all of my school questions. 

Whether it was high school math homework, what classes to take in college, or all of the best places to go out, you always have my back.

10. Being my very best friends. 

No friend will ever compare to a 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:

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.
