To my built-in best friend,

"Our siblings. They resemble us just enough to make all their differences confusing, and no matter what we choose to make of this, we are cast about them our whole lives long."

Thank you for always believing me in when I had no faith in myself. From the time you came into this world, you put me in a position to become a better version of myself. From forcing you to tag along as a sidekick to all of my shenanigans to watching you walk across the stage, you've shown me the true definition of friendship and love. No matter how tough times may be, you have shown me that you will never waiver.

Thank you for being you above all else. Though you are not the most talkative, you always know how to bring light into any room you enter. The moment you allowed me to hide you in a box full of teddy bears, I knew that you would take part in all of my fun, yet stupid decisions. The memories we have made are the ones that I treasure every day. You are me and I am you. I will always be thankful that God blessed me with a wonderful being like yourself. Though you may be younger, you have taught me more than you could ever know. From your kind soul to your exceptional work ethic, you managed to bring joy in some of my darkest moments.

To my kind-hearted, loving, and wonderful little brother,

Thank you for your unwavering loyalty and all the wonderful years of friendship. I will always be proud of the man you have become and will continue to be with you no matter what life brings us.

Love always,

Your Little Big Sister

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.
