Big Family, Lots Of Love

There's most likely the adult table, kids table, uncle table, aunt table, dog table, gossip table, you name it...I bet you have one in your family. Big family is meant for lots of good food, laughs, love, and sometimes big fights, but you wouldn't have it any other way.

1. Never being heard...like ever.

2. Being stuck at the "kids table," when you're 18-19 years old...I'm a legal adult, therefore the adult table is where I shall be seated.

3. There's NEVER enough food at family get-togethers, mainly 'cause all the men in the family decide they want to go back for seconds, thirds or even fourths. I guess grandma's cooking is just that good!

4. When everyone is parked outside of a house...it looks like you're having a concert, or a cult meeting.

5. The youngest members are constantly looked over, and often forgotten about.

6. So are the eldest...they're probably asleep in a chair with their dentures slowly falling out, and no one asks where Gigi is.

7. No one will notice if you're not there...if you bring a friend, or if a random hobo walks in to steal some turkey, they might mistake them for one of your country cousins even.

8. Normally your opinion will never matter...so don't even try speaking.

9. Names will often be mixed up, multiple times.

10. Someone just finished a story about your aunt Jackie, and someone else walks up and says, "Have you heard the story about Aunt Jackie?"

11. There's no point in inviting a lot of people to the wedding...you guys ARE the wedding.

12. Clothes get passed down...and down...and down...and down...

13. If you take a big family trip and wear the same color, for example orange, you all look like a runaway group of criminals.

14. When someone FINALLY has a baby...

15. Don't think you can take a nap at a family get-together...it's like taking one at a screamo concert.

16. "Can I..." 42 people say "NO" at the same time.

17. There is a ton of "remember that time when..."

18. There are stories that everyone has heard a ton of times...but still laughs at anyway.

19. On your birthday, if none of your friends tell you happy birthday...don't worry...you've got 50+ people who will.

20. There's always someone to hug you, kiss your cheek, and make you feel wanted when you have had the worst days possible.

21. There's that one family member.

22. Carpooling should never be an option.

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.

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.
