7 Reasons Why Having Older Sisters Is The Best
Palmer Costley

Being a younger sister is a life full of ups and downs. There are messy rooms, clothes being stolen, weird fights, and weird demands. But with all the strange things that being a younger sister entails there are also a lot of great perks. I've compiled a list of the best things about being a younger sister, this is all from my expert experience with two older sisters.

1. CLOTHES!

I'm just getting right into the important stuff from the get go. Having older sister's means you get hand me downs and unending fashion advice (sometimes unwanted, I will admit.) 95 percent of my clothes are hand me downs, and that means I've had to spend a significantly less amount of money on clothes than my sisters. So, thanks for that.

2. Lots of advice


This, like the sometimes unsolicited outfit advice, isn't always wanted, but it's very helpful. Even when we don't always like what they have to say, advice from older sisters is most of the time very true and always very helpful.

3. You always have a midnight snack partner

Whether it's breaking into the ice cream, making breakfast food at 2 a.m. or driving to Mcdonald's in the middle of the night for some french fries, your sister will almost always be down.

4. You'll always have an exercise partner


Because we all know that after that late night snack you guys are going to be promising each other you're gonna have a six pack by your next family vacation. With older sister's, you'll always have someone to be dragged to the gym with or drag to the gym with you.

5. You'll always have someone to learn from


Whether it's from their mistakes or from their successes having someone you can look up to is a big deal, and an older sister can always be that, even when they don't think they are.

6. You'll always have someone to jam with


Car rides can be long and boring, unless you have a killer playlist and a perfect jamming partner. Sisters are the perfect jamming partners because you won't feel embarrassed by how off key you are or how bad your dance moves are. Whether it's getting emotional at how Taylor Swift has literally written your life, or knowing every word to Yeah! by Usher, sister's are the best people to share this with.

7. You will always have a friend


Yes, it's sappy, but it's the truest of them all. Sister's are the best friends, no one will ever get you or your family like they do. No matter how much time you spend apart it's never awkward between the two of you. Because sister's are the best friends you'll ever have.

Sister's although they can be a little annoying at times are truly the best. And I'm so thankful for mine.

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.
