To My Older Brother

From teaching me how to tie my shoes, to graduating high school.

To my older brother,

From day one you have been my best friend, even though you probably enjoyed being an only child for a year until I came along. The first thing you taught me was how to tie my shoes, and since then you have taught me countless other things.

From family vacations, to running errands together, you have always been by my side. You're the person I can call at 1AM with a crazy story, or if I just need some advice. When I do need advice, you always give me an unbiased opinion that usually solves my problems.

You're always there to get food with me when I don't want to go alone. When I don't feel like hanging out with my friends, you always invite me to go with you and your friends. You always give me the inside scoop, from taking the road test to applying for college. Thanks to you, I always have had someone to talk to during family parties. When all of my friends depended on rides from their parents, I could brag about my brother being able to drive me places.

You've always been the first one to tell me if a friend isn't treating me right, or if I'm being dramatic about something. I can't thank you enough for always being there for me.

From teaching me how to tie my shoes, to graduating high school, we have only grown closer. Now we aren't living under the same roof, but when I see you we talk and bicker like nothing has changed.

From,

Your younger 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.
