11 Signs Your Sibling Is Going Ivy League

Think your sibling can be difficult to deal with sometimes? Try living with one that is headed to an Ivy League school next fall. If you're unsure where they might be headed here are 11 signs that will tell you the answer.

1. You have your own personal tutor.

Math, science, Spanish, or English, it really doesn't matter what subject you're struggling with because they will always know the answer to any sort of daunting question you may be presented with.

2. They came home from the ACT and SAT saying "that was easy."

Wait, did I just hear you right? You said that was easy? I studied for months, did practice exams, went to tutoring, almost had a mental breakdown after the first ten questions, and you said it was easy?!?

3. They correct every little mistake.


Texting them or even just having a casual conversation with them can turn into a grammar lesson at any given time.

4. Their personal achievement list reads like a book.

Honors/AP student, straight A's, more scholarships than you can count... etc. There's always some new thing they have accomplished, so you can never really keep track of all of them.

5. You take any compliment from them as something to be cherished forever.

They don't come often, but when they do you feel like you can take over the world.

6. Their GPA is better looking than most people.

Let's be honest here; a 4.0 is pretty attractive.

7. Your best academic semester will never be that good.

You grind through class, lose many hours of sleep studying, and stress over plenty of exams. You feel accomplished with the semester and are content with your overall grades...until you go home and are met with "that's it?" from your overachieving sibling.

8. Their general comments leave you puzzled.


"Did you know your brain can talk to you because the neurons give off electrical charges that you can listen to and basically translate like a machine?"

Sure, I'll take your word for it.

9. You know who to go to for money when you're having a midlife crisis.

Let's see here... Smart in high school leads to a prestigious university, which leads to a solid job. I can do that kind of math. Can a borrow a few hundred bucks?

10. You're content with being second best.

You have already conceded to the fact that you'll never be the smartest child, and that being the second smartest really isn't that bad considering what you're going up against.

11. You always have someone to brag about.


They may drive you crazy with their witty comments and their intelligence, but at the end of the day you're going to be proud of everything they've done and you'll make sure that everyone else knows how proud you are of them.

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.

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.
