11 Reasons Why Having A Big Sister Is The Best
Eliza Farrell

Even though we drive each other crazy and disagree half the time, my big sister is my life's greatest blessing. She has been my best friend, and sometimes my only friend, for as long as I can remember. From sleeping in bunk-beds to living in different countries, she has always been there for me. There are so many reasons why having an older sister is the best, but here's 110.

1. She supports you, always.

She doesn't have to agree with your decisions, but you know she'll always be rooting for you.

2. She puts things into perspective.

When you're stressed because you tried to take on too many things, she'll be the first to tell you to take it slow.

3. She gives the best advice.

She's older than you, so pretty much everything you're going through, she's already done.

4. She's the perfect rainy-day buddy.

Who better to build forts like a kid with than someone who helped you build them when you were seven?

5. She gives the best gifts.

Because she's known you the longest, she knows what you want (and what mom is already getting you).

6. You can talk to her about anything.

Your older sister is more like your friend. It's almost her job to listen to your problems.

7. She'll drop anything to help you.

Whether you're hurt, sick or just out of money, she'll do whatever she can to be there.

8. She checks up on you.

Your mom calls every Sunday, but your sister calls you everyday.

9. She makes you want to be a better person.

You've seen what she's gone through and how hard she has worked, so you naturally want to be just like her.

10. She makes everything seem more fun.

Those 10 hour drives to go see family never seem boring when you're french-braiding your sister's hair in the back seat.

11. She'll always be there.

Not only because she has to be, but she loves you unconditionally, so you know she'll never be too far.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
