A Poem For My Older Sister
Elise Bohning

If the title wasn't obvious enough, I have an older sister. While she can be extremely annoying sometimes, I still love her. Her birthday is coming up soon, and since I won't be seeing her the day of ('cause we're both in college), I decided to write her a little something. Enjoy!


Oh, dearest Arianna,

how annoying art thou.

You leave your crap all over the bathroom

Would it kill you to clean it up somehow?


Oh, dearest Arianna,

quit acting like you're the boss of me.

Just because you're older,

doesn't give you a right to be.


Oh, dearest Arianna,

how very weird art thou.

At home you sing obnoxious opera,

I'd appreciate if you could keep it down.


Oh, dearest Arianna,

you are smart as heck.

You constantly get straight A's,

could you, like, chill for a sec?


Oh, dearest Arianna,

how very talented art thou.

You're so good at oboe and piano,

you leave people thinking, "Wow!"


Oh, dearest Arianna,

I appreciate our shared interests.

We can make some great inside jokes,

and Mom and Dad won't know the difference.


Oh, dearest Arianna,

Honestly, I really love you.

You're the best because you're my sister, not my friend.

If we were friends? Well...that, I would never do.


Arianna, thanks for being a good older sister. Even if you are just so annoying sometimes, I still think you're pretty great. Love ya!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
