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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

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.

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
