10 Reasons I'm Thankful I grew Up With Older Sisters

Madison Metzger

Having a couple of big sis' is a huge a blessing that has made my life incredible.

1. They give the best advice.

There are things that you can't always go to your parents or even your friend for I can always count on them. They are older and wiser so I know I can always trust them to give me advice that will only help benefit me, even though I don't always want to take it.

2. They are the only ones who will keep your deepest darkest secrets.

I know that no matter what they would never spill the beans. We are sworn to secrecy under the sacred oath of sisterhood.

3. I learned from their mistakes.

When I was younger and they would get into trouble I learned not to make the same mistake and when they each made a different mistake I got to learn from them both at once.

4. Mom and dad became less strict with me, so thank you for that.

As I became older that started to care less and less about what I do and I know that it makes them mad, but thank you because I get to do more things because of it. I got to get away with things that they never would have

5. They see you at your worst and still never judge you.

I don't always have it together, and on the days that I don't they don't ever judge me for it, they help me get through it.

6. They're your sisters and best friend.

You get two for one. I love my best friends, but having my sisters also be my best friends is the best. I have my sister telling me that I need to hit the gym and I have my best friends to tell them that I look beautiful even though I probably don't.

7. They will always tell you the truth.

I don't always want to hear it, but they will tell me when me outfit is ugly that day, when I look a hot mess, or if they think I'm in the wrong and need to fix it.

8. They never fought with me for longer than an hour.

They could never stay mad at my cute face, we would be slamming doors in each others faces and then an hour later we were hanging out laughing again. Its easy to stay mad at your friends, but we could never go a whole day being mad at each other.

9. I can complain to them and they will never get sick of it.

Okay, they might get sick of it sometimes, but they would never turn me away, they always listen to my problems big or small.

10. They will always be there for me.

No matter what I can always count on them for anything and everything. I know that they will always be there for me when no one else will.

Thank you for being born before me so that I can learn and grow from you, so that I always have two wise souls who can help me in life to be better, and for being the best sisters a younger sister could ever ask for.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
