What It Means To Be A Sister By Choice, Not By Blood

You may not be sisters biologically, but the bond you share is just as strong.

What It Means To Be A Sister By Choice, Not By Blood
Nicolle Majette

After only a semester and a half at college, I have met the most amazing people who I am so lucky to call my sisters. Although the time we've known each other is small, it feels as if we've known each other forever. Through thick and thin, we're always there for each other, helping each other out and being there whenever we need it. These girls truly are the sisters I've never had, and I'm so grateful for each and every one of them. From them, I have learned what it means to be a sister.

Sisters always are there for each other. No matter how busy we may be with school, work, etc. sisters always make time for each other. Even if its just a trip to the dining hall, making time for each other is so important.

Sisters are the best people to confide in, and you know you can trust them with anything. Having people who know your deepest secrets can be scary, however, you know that whatever is said within the group stays in the group.

Nothing is better than the group chat. The group chat is where it all goes down. Memes, jokes, spilling tea, boy talk, you name it. The group chat is the ultimate reflection of the friend group, and where everyone's true self comes out. Nothing is better than re-reading old messages in the group chat together and dying about all the memories.

You must be ready at any moment to take pictures. This might not be true with every friend group, but at least in mine, we love. taking. pictures. At any given moment, you must be ready to flick up. A true sister will be ready to have a photo shoot anywhere, and have her friends looking right.

You'll always have people to hang out with. No matter what, you will always have someone to go get food with, study, or go out with.

You may fight like actual sisters but will always make up. Nothing is worse than getting into a fight with your closest friends, but also nothing is better than the moment where you make up and everything is good again. Fighting is a part of every relationship, but it makes the bond you share stronger.

I am forever grateful for my friends that I've met at school. From our "sister sleepovers" to our crazy Friday night adventures, nothing makes me happier than spending time with the people who know me the best. Thank you for being my best friends, and my sisters.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
