10 Things I Thank My Sister For
Baleigh Hill

Sis,

There is a never ending list of things you've taught me and things I am thankful for. I don't know if I'll ever actually get to thank you for all the things you have done, but here I am putting ten things you've done into writing.

1. Thank you for never giving up on me.

I know I'm a pain in the ass all the time. Thank you for never letting me quit, even when I was at my lowest.

2. Thank you for sticking up for me.

From that kid on the soccer team to the mean girl in high school, you always have my back.

3. Thank you for being my number one fan.

Every decision I've made or club I wanted to join, you rooted me on. You helped make student council signs when in 5th grade I wanted to be class president, just like you, and even let me copy some of your speech.

4. Thank you for convincing mom to let me go out with that one boy.

I know he was stupid and not worth it, but thank you for telling mom that I would be fine and he "isn't that bad, just let her go." Even though that relationship didn't work out, it was fun while it lasted.

5. Thank you for enduring all my games and recitals.

I know that you had better things to do than spend your weekends watching me twirl on stage, kick a ball, or pretend like I knew anything about basketball. Also, thank you for showing me how to actually punt a soccer ball and shoot a free throw.

6. Thank you for letting me be mad.

We aren't perfect. Sometimes I just had to take my anger out on someone. And that, was usually you. Sorry.

7. Thank you for always coming back.

Thank you for never leaving me behind and coming back for me, even when you couldn't stand anyone else.

8. Thank you for giving me a real friend.

Being a little sister isn't always fun. Thank you for letting me tag along with your friends and showing me what friendships should look like and being my best friend.

9. Thank you for teaching me confidence.

Let's be honest, I haven't always been confident, but you always let me know that who I am is who I'm supposed to be. You showed me how to rock my style and not be afraid of who I really am.

10. Thank you for being my sister.

I couldn't have done any of this without you.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
