5 Things My Older Sister Needs to Know
Jenny Foutz

Let's be real.....you're a real pain in my butt! I love you more than life itself but sometimes you drive me up a wall. We butt heads because we are opposites; that will never change. Now that I have that out of the way, I also want you to know that you are one of my favorite people ever, you are my older sister! In a crazy world that is going to try and knock you down, I want you know these five things:

1. You are beautiful.

Please don't ever let the world convince you that you are not. People will try and tell you otherwise, but I am here to tell you that you are beautiful. If you believed that as much as I do you could conquer any room you walk into. You have outer beauty but you also have inner beauty, and I think that means more than anything. Your spirit is beautiful and I hope you never let anyone take that from you.

2. You are smart.

You have always been the "smart one" out of the two of us. You still amaze me because you always seem to know everything about everything. You retain information so well and always blow people away because you usually are smarter than then. Again, I hope you never let people convince you that you are dumb -- you are anything but that.

3. No matter what, I will always be your biggest supporter.

We fight over almost everything and you drive me crazy but even during those times I will always be your #1 supporter. No matter what you decide to do with your life I will always be here for you. I don't always show it because honestly, I don't really know how, but I promise I will always be there for you.

4. Never let the world put out your fire.

The world can be such a negative and mean place; please don't ever let that bring you down. I truly believe that you could do anything you set your mind to, you could totally run this country if you wanted. But if you let the world put out your fire people will never see how truly amazing you are.

5. You are stronger than you will ever know.

I have known you my whole life (DUH), and even though both of us never want to admit it, I know you better than anyone. I know that you are so much stronger than you will ever give yourself credit for. Please never doubt your strength and what you can do.


We are complete opposites, we fight about everything, and let's be real we don't look anything alike. We have different views on the world and different views on right and wrong. We didn't choose the same life paths nor did we make the same life changing decisions. With all of that said I can truly say my life would not be the same without you. You have helped shape me into the crazy person I am today. Without your sweet soul I wouldn't be me. Love you lots big SISTER!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
