A Letter To My Siblings

I am so proud to be your big sister.

A Letter To My Siblings
Alyanna Tuttle

I'm a big sister, and everyday I realize that it is one of the best jobs I could have. My siblings mean so much to me, and I could not imagine my life without them. The older we get, the closer we become, and that means everything to me.

I'm the oldest of three, and I love my sister and brother more than they may ever know. We have been three peas in a pod for as long as I can remember, and I have always tried to be like their second mother. I am so happy that we have such a strong relationship, and I have two of my very best, closest friends in my brother and sister.

Being the oldest, I was the first one to go to college, and I am still the only one out of high school. The first year away from my brother and sister was the hardest year of my life. I felt like I was missing out on their lives and the important moments they were having. It broke my heart to watch them become closer as brother and sister and feel like I was on the outside. But I eventually realized that I was still their big sissy and they still needed me. When I would come home, it was like I never left.

We may fight (I always win), but I am their biggest fan and their best cheerleader. I am always rooting for them and wanting nothing but the best in their lives. I always find myself feeling like a proud mom when they have an accomplishment, which happens often. My brother and sister are amazing and they can do whatever they put their minds too. (Singing, playing instruments, tennis, bowling, track, Homecoming Queen, valedictorian) Let's just say I have a lot to be proud of them for. I always want people to know that I am their sister, and I love witnessing their successes.

I am finishing up my third year of college, and I still love coming home to my brother and sister. Whether its been three weeks or three days, they are always excited to see me and catch me up with what has been happening in their lives. When I'm at school, we still keep in touch by texting and Snapchatting as much as we can. Needless to say, we are all pretty important in each other's lives--and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I know that no matter where life takes us, we will always be close. We will always need each other and will always be best friends. We may end up living states away from each other, but our strong relationship will never suffer because of that. I will always be the big sister, and they will always be my sweet little sister and tender-hearted little brother; that is something that I know will never change.

Love you Sissy. Love you Bubby. I am so proud to be your big sister.

Love,

Anna

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
