The Thank You My Big Brother Deserves

A thank you for all the times I've cried to you in the middle of the night.

Dear big brother,

I am writing this as a thank you to you because let's face it- no matter how much we fight, we're there for each other no matter what. Since the beginning- it's always been like this and I hope it's always like this. I think this comes through mostly in times of struggle. This last month has been so hard on all of us and it has brought us together so much. So here it goes-

Thank you, brother, for being there for me no matter what has happened, thank you for wiping the tears at two in the morning when I'm crying over some guy time and time again. Thank you for taking me on midnight adventures with you, even when you say it's just because you're bored. I think underneath it all it's because you care- even when you refuse to say it. Thank you for letting your friends become my friends even when you say you despise it. And letting me hang out and tag along with you sometimes. Thank you for being there in the more serious times as well and even when we fight coming back an hour later to make sure I'm okay. Face it- you can't stay mad at your little sister. (Ha!) Thank you for making me laugh even when I feel like I won't smile again. Thank you for everything.

And well even during the times we're fighting and carrying on I remember what I'd never admit to you. I look up to you even though we only have an age gap of two years and though I didn't say it when you went away for college- it was hell for me to not be able to run one room over to tell you things. And whether you like it or not I think at this point I need you and you're stuck with me.

I love you.

Sincerely,

Your baby 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.
