35 Long Overdue Thank Yous To My Little Sister

Shea Costin

My sister is my mini-me, partner-in-crime, and best friend. Don’t get me wrong, we still have our arguments over stolen clothing, but there’s no one I’d rather annoy 24/7 than her. However, I never quite show you how much you’re appreciated by me. So, here are a few things that we should all thank our siblings for.

Some are relatable, yet some are unique, but overall these are some powerful thank yous that go a long way to the person who has always been there for me and will continue to be a shining light in my life. Let's begin.

1. Thank you for being annoying when I tell you to stop.

2. Thank you for always pushing my buttons.

3. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on.

4. Thank you for being honest with me.

5. Thank you for being brutally honest with me when I’m trying clothes on.

6. Thank you for giving me advice even when I don’t listen to it.

7. Thank you for listening to me vent about the same thing over and over again.

8. Thank you for being my favorite person to gossip with.

9. Thank you for defending me to our parents.

10. Thank you for showing me unconditional love.

11. Thank you for growing up under my wing.

12. Thank you for never giving up on me.

13. Thank you for spending money on me when I’m poor.

14. Thank you for buying my pizza at midnight.

15. Thank you for going to concerts with me.

16. Thank you for teaching me that I deserve the best of the best.

17. Thank you for pushing me to better myself.

18. Thank you for listening to my advice when you don’t want to.

19. Thank you for singing in the car with me.

20. Thank you for always being a sore loser, because I am too.

21. Thank you for making me laugh when I’m upset.

22. Thank you for giving me my clothes back after you steal them.

23. Thank you for letting me steal your clothes.

24. Thank you for being my go-to roadie buddy.

25. Thank you for keeping me sane at family parties.

26. Thank you for giving me a best friend that I will never lose.

27. Thank you for giving me argument practice for the past 19 years.

28. Thank you for teaching me forgiveness.

29. Thank you for getting into trouble with me.

30. Thank you for taking the blame, sometimes.

31. Thank you for never apologizing after a fight, but instead asking if I want to get food.

32. Thank you for endless amounts of sleepovers.

33. Thank you for adventuring with me.

34. Thank you for breaking rules with me.

35. Thank you for everything you’ve done to help me become the person I am today.

There are definitely hundreds of other things I could thank you for, so hopefully, those 35 will suffice. You’ve been with me through everything, and I cannot wait to see where our futures lead us. But for now, continue to annoy me every day because we never know what the next day brings.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.
