9 Reasons Your Big Sister Is The Most Important Person In Your Life

Having an older sister means a lot of things. She will always be the most important person in your life. Don't take advantage of her.

I'll never really be alone.

No matter what, I know that she will always be there for me. She understands all of your troubles and will always give you the best advice to overcome them. She will always be there to fall back on.

We can share a closet. 

Pro-tip for the younger sister: Always ask before wearing. Don't make the mistake of taking something without asking because she will yell. Sharing clothes, shoes, and jewelry is one of the tiny perks of having an older sister.

She gave me fashion, movie, and music sense

Growing up, I was the tomboy. Eventually, when I decided to take advice from my sister, she gave me fashion sense. Guess who's the best dressed in the room now? She has showed me some of my favorite music artists as well as some of my favorite television shows. It also makes sleepovers a lot easier. We either watch The Office or a documentary.

She will keep it real with you.

Sometimes, she has to be the villain so I can hear the ugly truth even when I don't want to. She will never lie to protect me from my own feelings.

Her home is always open. 

Even when we grew up and moved away from one another, her home is always going to be my home as well. She is always going to open her doors to me if I need her to. I'll always find comfort in her.

She gave me advice that pertained to the real world.

Whether it was for applying to colleges or getting a job, she was always there to prepare me and make me aware of what I was getting myself into.

She always covered for you.

Had too much to drink at that party? Call your older sister. She will come to the rescue even if she is in bed with sun poisoning.

Being the older sister, the blame was always put on her but she dealt with it a lot better than I would've.

She is your lifetime travel buddy?

She will always agree to a getaway with her younger sister. The younger sister always has more fun anyway. Why not be apart of it?

No matter the destination or time, she will always agree.

Her wallet is always open to buy both of you lunch

Thank you for all of the food you've bought me in the past when I didn't have a job.

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.
