Hey Justin, my little baby brother :-)

I know I rarely get sentimental with you, but I was in the mood and I was like, wow, I really love my little brother, so here's a letter:

You're one of the very few people that I thank God for putting in my life everyday. Sure, you can be a pain in the ass—but honestly, what little brother isn't? I've been thinking about you for the past few days and how important you are to me; however, I feel as though I've never conveyed that importance to you properly. I'm writing this letter in hopes that you'll know how important you are to me and how much of a special person you are.

People who don't know you may think that you're not the smartest or too closed off.

On the contrary, I think you're what most people should aspire to be. So many of us are concerned with being the most intelligent or being the most respected, but you don't care. Instead, you inspire me everyday on the basis of your humanity. I always thought I was the "better" of the two because I got the better grades and I had more friends; but now, I see that it's you who I have to learn from. I've let my past get to me and as a result, I have such a cynical and apathetic view towards life. You, on the other hand, have so much love to give and care so much about those around you. So much to the point that I am left dumbfounded as to how someone can care about strangers so much.

People are so quick these days to judge others based upon their credentials rather than looking at each other based on their hearts. You have a heart of gold that no other can match. I don't think you give yourself enough credit and although on the surface, you may seem brash and uncaring, I know that deep down, you have such a genuine inquisitiveness for those around you.

I still remember all those times you'd bring an extra cupcake or sweet from a class event for me; the times you'd text me words of encouragement when I went through some hard times during freshman year; the times you'd wait for me till 3AM, making sure I came home safe after a night of debauchery (whoops).

I know that the words people say hurts and I swear, when I hear strangers uttering such pathetic words, I want to slap them and criticize them for their small mindedness. People in society suck... a lot... and they're always judging people based on first impressions or small details. I want you to rise above that and know that everyone does things differently. Just because you didn't follow the rules that society has laid out, doesn't mean you're better or worse.

I also wish you wouldn't think that you are limited in your abilities. You are capable in every sense of the word and I know that you will do great things, as long as you put your mind to it. We are our greatest enemies and you're the only one limiting yourself. Nevertheless, do what you want to do, at your own pace, and just know that 누나 will always be your biggest supporter!! I will always be the one cheering the loudest on the sidelines.

Love,
Your favourite sister.

P.S. Now that you've got your license, I hope you can drive me to and from Boston <3
P.P.S. I'm still annoyed that you somehow got the good eyebrow genes and I didn't but WUTEVA
P.P.P.S. Stop playing video games. I swear.

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.

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.

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.
