A Letter from the Middle Sibling

I do love you both. Please don't think I don't.

I just feel the love we share is a need to versus a want.

We share history and a bloodline too,

But our relationship could be better,

Our connection too.

It feels like we were born and pushed together,

Told that we had to love one another because that's what family does,

Unconditionally. Under any circumstance.

I love you, I'm there for you,

Cause we won't have a second chance.

But that's just it...

Was there ever a first?

We were born as strangers to one another,

Forced to share our lives,

Never given a chance,

To develop and analyze who we each were as people.

At least this is how I feel...

Our love is but a show we put on,

More so because you see,

Our age gap, plus an indirect separation gap,

Our love was quite clearly a have to,

And I believe, deep down you agree with me.

Who are you two to me?

Together we're S, K, and B, respectively.

The Blair kids...that's all we've come to be.

I don't feel I really know either of you,

Though I believe this is only circumstantial,

We three are all in completely different places in our lives,

Places that are damn near impossible to combine.

An adultier-adult, an adult, and a teenager,

Years that divide, and a marriage that both divides and connects.

Almost a set up, like legos- pull them apart and what toy is next?

We all share genetics, I genuinely wish there were more,

Personality is kinda there but what good is that for?

Three different people, still strangers in my eyes,

Hopefully with equal effort, we could all connect as we've been taught,

Perhaps all the life we've lived,

All the trials we've survived,

It'll all mean something,

When we're on the same playing field.

I do love you both. Please don't think I don't.

I just don't want the love we have to go from can,

to won't.

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.
