How I Found My Sister
Madison Rose

The word "sister" can be classified much deeper than blood. I wasn't born with a sister, but one was placed into my life. I've always had thoughts growing up on what it would be like having a female P.I.C. (partner in crime) around. Being the middle sibling and being the only girl, I grew up around hot wheels and wrestling. Never could one imagine having someone stroll into their ordinary world and change it. Once Jayde came, I knew we'd never let her go.

Back in high school I never had much friends. I was on dance team and pretty much thats all I had to lean on. Social media was something pretty much everyone had. Thats where you can be anyone you want to be, and post whatever you want to post. I had many acquaintances just from following others. One of my followers in particular is named Jayde Smiley.

Yes, my sister and I met on social media. Sounds crazy, I know. Anyways, here's our story.

When I wasn't dancing, I was playing Call of Duty with or without my brothers. One day on twitter I posted something along the lines of, " Who wants to kill some zombies on COD with me?" Luckily one of my followers happened to reply and say they were down. I've never been a shy person so this is pretty typical for me to invite a random person to be on my team in COD. Once we started playing, it ended up being a consistent thing. All it took was one simple text saying "COD" and it was on.

Jayde and I ended up getting really close just from playing video games together and it lead to our best friend-ship. Next thing you know, we were spending everyday together whether it was partying or relaxing. Our other best friends even ended up getting jealous because of how much time we were spending with each other. This lasted months before a crazy turn of events happened.

If your best friend texts you saying she has no place to go, what would you do? When that happened to me, my mother and I told her to come stay with us until things got sorted out. Her staying with us lasted longer than a couple of weeks so we made the decision to just move her into my bedroom, and I would switch rooms. To be honest, we adjusted to the transformation very quickly. It almost felt.. natural.

Months upon months upon months went by. Yeah, we would have occasional fights here and there. Being practically sisters at this point, we were over any argument within a few minutes. Jayde and I shared a car, shared money, and shared friends. Even if I wanted space from her, the only way I would get it would be by locking myself in my room. Jayde happened to not have a door for her room because we thought it would be funny to make a hole in it and sword fight through it (lol). She was/is my legit partner in crime that I've always wanted.

Years later, she's still my sister. We've been inseparable ever since we first started hanging out. We even lived with each other once we moved out of my mothers house. She's the person I call when times are rough, and the person I call when I have exciting news. She's the best thing that could have ever happened to me. We have our ups and downs, but she's family. Family is forever. Finding Jayde and Jayde finding us made my family complete. Here's to indefinite years of sisterhood, Jayde.

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.
