An Open Letter To My Little Sister

The point is, I love you.

An Open Letter To My Little Sister
Alexis Williams

Hi Sis,

I sleep in the room next to you, but writing this was easier than saying it. I love you. Yes believe it or not, I love you like you're my, well, sister.

You have the best personality. And you do so many things that I admire you for. You are so assertive. You know what you want and you know what you're going to say. You are so stubborn and sometimes I feel like the exact opposite.

You're so beautiful. You're so different from when we were little it's insane. Your hair is so long and it's crazy how much you've grown up from just last year alone. I can't believe you're almost an adult, it racks my brain just thinking about it.

I know you'll do great things though. You've always had a good heart even though you may not always show it. You're tough. You never let anyone sway the way you think.

I love the way you stand up for yourself, no matter how awful the moment may be. You aren't scared, you let them know exactly who they're messing with. Like I said, you've always been tough.

You have a great mind. You work so hard for the grades you have in school. You're a genius. You overcame everything to be where you are academically.

I'm proud of you. No matter how much I yell at you and I hope you know that.

We get along one minute and then the next your livid, leaving me confused as to why you're even mad.

You confuse me every second of every day. I'm still not sure if you like me even though you've been slice for like what, 16 years.

I remember when you were little. Always wearing overalls and those pink chucks that I was always jealous of. I remember you throwing a baby doll at my face and knocked out my tooth that I was going to the dentist to get removed the very next day, thanks for that by the way.

We always sing too loud in the car and laugh way too loud when dad tries to watch TV. We can't help it though, sometimes we just need to laugh together or else we'll just cry.

When we really get along its rare. We argued more than anything in the world about the stupidest things. Taking too long in the shower to not checking my phone while I'm driving to accidentally losing your sweater that you deliberately told me not to misplace... Oops.

When we're together we eat a lot more Taco Bell then we should. We eat a lot more of everything to be completely honest. That's always your fault.

We disagree. So much, it may be a little unhealthy. But we love each other!

You're full of spunk. I'm kind of reserved. You're definitely quieter than me, I'm always yelling even if I don't know it.

But what matters is that I love you, every part of you. Even the parts that make me angry.

We are completely different. And that's perfectly fine.

XOXO,

Your Big Sister

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.
