To My Little Sisters While I'm Away At College

The greatest gift our parents ever gave us was each other.

To My Little Sisters While I'm Away At College
Cadrien Livingston

Dear Little Sisters,

I know that I've been gone for a while now. You keep asking when I'm coming back from college and if I'll be home to visit soon. When I first left, you kept calling me every day to ask how college was going. I loved getting to hear your voice across the phone telling me how everything was going. I knew that I wouldn't miss home as much as I missed you. For the few times that I did come visit I always received a hug and, of course, you always wanted to tag along wherever I went. But, I didn't mind because while I was gone, I missed you and wanted to talk to you about all the things that had happened that I couldn't tell mom.

You were always eager to wrestle when I got back even though I always win! Questions like do you have a boyfriend, how is school, and what am I doing would always come up. Every time I come back, you get a little taller. I understood how much you missed me when you said you wanted me to come home because you were tired of being blamed for everything. I want you to know that I miss you very much and I wish I could see you grow up. I know that you wish I could make those special dates like your birthday or the Christmas concerts, but as much as skipping class is appealing, I can't even make an exception for you.

You are my best friend and even though I didn't want you when you first came along, I wouldn't change it for the world. While some say that you can't live with your enemy, you are the only enemy of mine that I wouldn't be able to live without. The greatest gift I ever got was you.

Sincerely,

Your Older Sibling That Likes To Boss You Around

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.
