"A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life." - Isadora James

Here are 10 reasons I could not agree more with that quote:

1. She doesn't get too mad when I steal all of her clothes

My sister is one of the most selfless human beings I know. When I say I steal her clothes I mean take them and three months later give them back after she asks a thousand times. She still continues to let me "borrow" them, because she is that amazing. I honestly would never have decent outfits if it weren't for her.

2. She is always kind

She probably won't agree with this one, but it is 100% true. I have finally realized she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. For example, we will be having a normal conversation and then she will apologize for being mean. When I am positive she didn't even say anything. That is what makes her so awesome. Her mean is most people's common courtesy.

3. She is my all-time chauffeur

I have been driving for two years now; but whenever I am stuck somewhere or even out of gas, she is always there to give me a ride. Sometimes when I don't feel like driving she will pick me up to get taco bell or sonic. I know I would be walking or riding a bike if it weren't for her.

4. She gives the best advice

If you are anything like me, then you always have something you need an opinion on. My sister has helped make ¾ of my life decisions. I even know the answers most of the time and just need to hear her say it too.

5. She is understanding

It is hard to find a bestie that won't judge you for your choices. She has never once made me feel bad for my outrageous outfits or hairstyles, even when I knew she didn't like them. She also never makes me feel like a horrible or rude person, but can put me in my place when I need it. Yes, we fight but we can never stay mad at each other for too long. She always relates to me and tries to see things from my point of view.

6. She always has my back

If I decided to dye my hair green and move to Switzerland, I know she would support me. No matter the circumstance she is there for me and all my outlandish ideas. I especially appreciate how she gets upset when I talk to someone who wasn't nice to me in the past. I know she just wants to protect me and hates to see me get hurt.

7. She lets me sleepover whenever

Since she has her own place it's like I have my own place. She is always down for a movie night even when we both know she will fall asleep 10 minutes in. (It's ok that you can't stay up till 2 a.m.) I just enjoy spending time with her even if we do absolutely nothing.

8. She makes me a better person

The things she has been through have made her who she is today. She is fearless, wise, and loving. She is leading by example every single day. I love that when I leave her I want to spread kindness and joy across the world. I know with her in my corner I will be alright and hopefully pick up on her traits.

9. She is a great listener

I have had many, many, many rant sessions with her, but that doesn't stop her from listening. She listens to help me solve my problem, not just react to what I say. The way she sees things is truly lighthearted. She always sees the best in people and life no matter what mood she is in.

10. She is my partner in crime

Finally, she is always ready for our next adventure, whether it be the Dominican or Target. She will let me crash her and her friends' hangouts and weddings. She will also take in any strays that I get from a school function. She is never boring and always keeps me safe.

So thank you Ali for being a best friend and big sister all wrapped in one. Thank you for keeping me laughing and being the best. I'll always love you to the moon and back.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
