Growing Up With Two Older Sisters
Hailey Ross

Being the youngest sister has pros and cons. In other words, being called the baby of the family is not my favorite, but I learn to manage. Growing up with two older sisters that are only a year apart can be hard at times. Since they are so close in age, they are interested in similar things and get along with the same friend group. Myself on the other hand, I am completely different. I love dogs, and my sister loves cats. I want Chinese food, and my sister wants pizza. I say the sky is blue, and she'll say it's purple. It's almost like we are opposites.

During our elementary school stage, we all thought the same and of course dressed the same. My mom thought it was always a good idea to dress us up in the same outfits for school and Halloween. It was almost like we were triplets. We would all get along, but we were young and vulnerable. We didn't know what the future would bring us at such a young age. My sister, Brielle, is the middle child. She is 21-years-old, and she will be graduating from Florida State University this year. My other sister, Malina, is 22-years-old, and she is a student at Old Westbury back in New York. Last but certainly not least, there is me. I am the youngest, and I am a student at the University of Tennessee. We are all in different states,but we always make time to text or even talk on the phone. Being far away from them can be hard, especially if I need them for something like an outfit approval. We still are not as close as we were when we were younger, but when there is an emergency or I need something to talk to, they always have my back. When I was in middle school, I would always wear my sisters hami-downs. The best part is when someone gave me a compliment on my shirts, I would always grin and say, "Thanks! I just got it. "

No matter what state I'm in or even if I don't speak to them everyday, I still love them. They can drive me crazy, especially when they take my clothes from my room. But, I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. We can fight like cats and dogs sometimes, but we always forgive each other when we buy food for each other. I am forever thankful.

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.
