To My Older Sister From The Baby Of The Family

To my older sister,

Being the youngest kid is not as easy as it looks, I have gone through a lot more then you will ever know. When I was born you loved it because mommy was home from work. Little did you know that the world as you knew it was changing, and not everything was about you. When we got a little older and I was able to play with you, you didn’t share too well. For Christmas, we got the Barbie three-floor dream mansion that you never let me play with you. But that didn’t stop me, for my birthday I got a remote control car for my Barbie so now I had something that was mine, not yours. But then all of a sudden you wanted me to play with you, its like you were using me so you could use my car! But I was little, so I gave into that right away.

Time marched on and we did all these silly things together…well I mean I was the guinea pig, you made do all the things you didn’t want to. Then blamed me for it when it went wrong! As time past by, you were in high school and I in middle school. You were suddenly too cool for me. You came home late, did your homework for hours and never talked to me. It was as if I was an only child since mom and I did everything without you.

Then it was off to college for you; you went to school 6 hours away from home, and now I really felt like an only child. But then that one summer things really changed, you actually wanted to be my friend. Finally, at last I had my sister back and you loved me. You wanted to do things with me and all my dreams finally came true!

A little over a year later, it was my turn to go off to college and what school do I pick? The same school as you. You graduated in the spring and I started in the fall, but that didn’t matter because we still grew closer. You now visit me when you can and that's always an adventure, hanging out with your friends and mine.

Time has since marched on but nothing much has changed, I’m still your baby sister and I can’t imagine life without you.

To all those little sisters out there, your time will come when you and your older sister will become best friends, just you wait and see!

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.
