To My Boys

Thank you both for everything you have been for me.

To My Boys

Ever since I was a little girl, I've always wanted a brother. I mean don't get me wrong, my sister is my heart, soul, and entire world - I would never give her up for anything, but something about having a brother always seemed so cool to me.

Maybe it was because I played a ton of sports or maybe it was because I grew up hanging out with the boys (I owned the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw video game; I was literally a little boy). Whatever the reason was, I always wanted an older brother.

Little did I know that I would one day have two.

I am forever grateful for the friends that I have made over the years...especially for the two boys who have undoubtedly changed who I am for the better.

The story of how I met these two goofballs is one hundred percent the least important piece of our friendship. The important thing is what they have been for me and who they are to me now.

They are more than friends - they are the brothers that I always wished for.

No matter what has happened to me in the past five plus years they have been the first two people by my side. They have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

They watch over me. They are honest with me.

We spend holidays and special occasions together because that is what families does.

We are family.

They have been there with me; smiling, laughing, crying, you name it.

Not many people know me as well as the two of them do - I don't often share much of myself. For me to open myself up to you, you have to earn my trust. Frankly, there are few people one earth that I trust more than these two.

I will always be thankful for you both. Between the lazy nights at your house watching you play NHL, late night drives to IHOP (just because I want pancakes), and everything in between, I am eternally appreciated for all the time that we have been able to spend together.

Thank you for always watching over me, for caring about me, for making me laugh, for being my brothers.

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.

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.
