A Letter To A Faraway Sister

A heartfelt goodbye letter to a sister that moved halfway across the country.

Prosperity

Well. By the time you read this, you will be all unpacked and hopefully on the hunt for a job somewhere out in Denver.

I cannot believe that you actually did it. I had no doubt that you meant what you said 100%, but I just cannot believe that you are halfway across the continent. It will always be hard to fathom for me. A person that I have grown up with for 16 years of my life is officially gone. Now, I will only see you once or twice a year.

We have fought for most of our lives, but that does not change the way that we will forever feel about each other. We still love each other. This love is unconditional. This love can never be broken.

When we were younger, we would always fight over who would ride in the back seat for long car trips. You would usually win because you pulled the seniority card. Now that I look back on those moments, you pulled that car A LOT on both Zachary and I. These car rides always turned into the most memorable adventures ever. Stop and read signs along the highways. Stop and take a picture with the welcome sign of a new state. Stick our hands out and lunge forward to try and outreach the other before screaming "BEAVER" as we cross each state line. These memories will forever be some of my favorites.

The times we spent in a car, just the two of us, was always interesting as well. Sneaking out to Chipotle together and vowing to never tell Mom about it always brought the most fun. The best thing about these car rides together was when "Hey Soul Sister" by Train came on the radio. We would always blast it and sing along. That was our song and it always will be.

I remember when I was younger, I always wanted to hang out in your room. You had a room to yourself and was always playing music and playing with toys. It was like a dream come true to be able to hang out with you. I would always come in and play with your dolls just so I could hang out with you in your room. Zach and I would always be in your room because we both looked up to you.

You were alway there for us. In everything that we did, you were there to support us. Without your support, I do not know what I would have been able to accomplish. You are amazing sister, Rosalie, and I know for a fact that Zach and I will never forget that.

Stay strong. Be yourself.

Denver is ready for you, and you are ready for Denver.

You got this Sis.

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.
