My Other Half, My "Sister"

Ups and downs, she's by your side

My Other Half, My "Sister"
Francesca Craven

I'm sure having a biological sister is great. A special, connected bond that you have with no one else but her. I am fortunate enough to have that with my biological brother, but on the flip side I will never know what that's like with a sister. So if you're in the same boat as I am, when God gives you that "sister" in your life don't ever let her go. She's your go-to and there are countless reasons why she's the one you don't necessarily always want in your life at certain times, but the one you need in your life all of the time.

In her you will always find a best friend. Disagreements will happen, but nothing will ever separate your bond. If anything, disagreements are often great for looking back on later and laughing at how stupid it was.

Whether you had a bad day or just need some girl time, she's your gal. Your "sister" is the one to be there for the gossip sessions and late night junk food. Let's face it, there is no one else you would rather tell your life story to than her. The best part about it all is that she will never tell a soul what you said and vice versa. She's your walking diary, your own personal vault of information to never be leaked.

Her closet becomes your closet. Shirts, scarves, dresses, you name it. Most of the time you'll be allowed to borrow her things just as she is allowed to borrow yours. This makes shopping a thousand times easier. You get the items for free, but with a return policy.

Dance sessions are a must. Are you really "sisters" if you can't bust a move together? Plus, they're a great way to make you both laugh and forget about everything for a while. Also, with dance sessions comes renditions of some of the best songs around. You and her are a dynamic duo that kills it every time you sing together. Even if you're both a little off key.

She's never there to judge, only there to listen. She's there to help you through some of the toughest times and is someone who will be there for the rest of your life. She's the Monica to your Rachel and can never be replaced.

So when you get that "sister" in your life, hold on tight and never let her go.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
