7 Reasons Why Having Older Sisters Is The Best
Palmer Costley

Being a younger sister is a life full of ups and downs. There are messy rooms, clothes being stolen, weird fights, and weird demands. But with all the strange things that being a younger sister entails there are also a lot of great perks. I've compiled a list of the best things about being a younger sister, this is all from my expert experience with two older sisters.

1. CLOTHES!

I'm just getting right into the important stuff from the get go. Having older sister's means you get hand me downs and unending fashion advice (sometimes unwanted, I will admit.) 95 percent of my clothes are hand me downs, and that means I've had to spend a significantly less amount of money on clothes than my sisters. So, thanks for that.

2. Lots of advice


This, like the sometimes unsolicited outfit advice, isn't always wanted, but it's very helpful. Even when we don't always like what they have to say, advice from older sisters is most of the time very true and always very helpful.

3. You always have a midnight snack partner

Whether it's breaking into the ice cream, making breakfast food at 2 a.m. or driving to Mcdonald's in the middle of the night for some french fries, your sister will almost always be down.

4. You'll always have an exercise partner


Because we all know that after that late night snack you guys are going to be promising each other you're gonna have a six pack by your next family vacation. With older sister's, you'll always have someone to be dragged to the gym with or drag to the gym with you.

5. You'll always have someone to learn from


Whether it's from their mistakes or from their successes having someone you can look up to is a big deal, and an older sister can always be that, even when they don't think they are.

6. You'll always have someone to jam with


Car rides can be long and boring, unless you have a killer playlist and a perfect jamming partner. Sisters are the perfect jamming partners because you won't feel embarrassed by how off key you are or how bad your dance moves are. Whether it's getting emotional at how Taylor Swift has literally written your life, or knowing every word to Yeah! by Usher, sister's are the best people to share this with.

7. You will always have a friend


Yes, it's sappy, but it's the truest of them all. Sister's are the best friends, no one will ever get you or your family like they do. No matter how much time you spend apart it's never awkward between the two of you. Because sister's are the best friends you'll ever have.

Sister's although they can be a little annoying at times are truly the best. And I'm so thankful for mine.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
