An Open Letter To My Sister

I know life has got you down right now, but I need you to hear this.

An Open Letter To My Sister
Jessica Heady

Right now, I know you are sad, and that is okay. One day, you won't even remember why, but until that day comes, I want you to remember a few things.

You are so incredibly smart! You study harder than anyone I know and you do so well in school. It makes me want to be a better student.

When I see you write out a plan on how and when you will study, I am in such amazement that someone can be so organized on how they manage their homework.

I just procrastinate until it's one in the morning and then I am too tired to study, but I study anyway while having a mental breakdown. But your organization skills are why you are so smart. You know exactly how to manage your time to be the best student you can be.

You are also one of the nicest people I know. You care so much for everyone. When you see something in a store and you think someone would like it, you buy it for them without hesitation. You just want to make sure people are happy.

Especially the child you babysit. You go above and beyond for that little girl, it is like she is your own child. You make sure that her mornings before school are fun all the time. You make her so happy. You make everyone so happy.

Lastly, you are just so calm. I do not know how you do this. I am very jealous of this quality. When things go wrong, you are very "go with the flow" and I go in panic mode.

We may be twins, but we are very different, and I love you for that. You balance me out when I feel completely insane.

A lot of the time, I am the one who is feeling blue, and you are always there for me. So, I want to let you know that I am here for you. Things will work out. You have the brightest future ahead of you.

I love you, sister.

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.

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.
