11 Things Only Sisters Understand
Bailey Cooper

Growing up with a sister can be rough at times, but most of the time it's like having an endless sleepover with your best friend. It's nice knowing that you never have to go through life alone, and having someone there to enjoy the good times and embrace the bad times with you makes life a little more blissful. If you have sisters, I am sure you can relate to the following;

You are brutally honest about how they look.

“You should probably put on a different shirt and maybe wear a different color lipstick.” And you know they will be honest with you, too.

You know all of their “looks.”

The “wtf” look, the “that guy was cute” look, the “do not embarrass me” look, the “let’s leave” look, and my all time favorite… The "oh my gosh, did she really just say that?" look.

You cant go anywhere without someone asking if you're twins.

“Oh are you guys twins”?! No, actually were 6 years apart… by now we should just make signs to wear around our necks.

Face swap or nah?

They will “like” everything of yours on social media.

It’s like… their job. Whether it be a selfie or some inspirational quote you found on pinterest, you better freaking believe she will like it.

Need an outfit? No problem.

Those days when you feel like you have nothing to wear… Just step on into your sister’s closet. It will always feel like she has 10x cuter clothes than you do, and then you get to act like you're on an epsiode of "Who wore it better".

You will always have a plan B.

Not that my sister is ever a backup plan, and quite honestly I’d spend a night in watching netflix and eating junk food with her over any other plans anytime! BUT, if ever your plans fall through, she’s always up to do something fun!

She’s your dating guru.

She’s always trying to hook you up. With the waiter, with the cute guy on Facebook, or the guy from back home you’ve always thought was a hunk. She also reassures you that you can do way better than all of your ex’s, and constantly reminds you not to open those doors again. She makes you realize how you deserve to be treated.


You get to be each others maid of honors!

You’re probably happier than she is when she finally gets engaged, too. Going to 12 different bridal boutiques to find the perfect dress, Pinteresting all hours of the day, and crafting for months on end is what sisters are for. It makes you happy seeing her happy, and what more could you ask for?

You will always have someone to ugly cry to.

After a break up, a sad episode of Greys Anatomy, or when you're just feelin' a little dramatic. She will always be there to listen to you vent.

Your parents can’t keep your names straight.

It might happen so often that you find yourself questioning your identity…

You will always have a best friend!

Honestly, even if we weren’t sisters, I’d still wanna be your friend… you're just that cool.

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?
