8 Reasons to Appreciate Your Sisters

Growing up with sisters, I realized how it would be so much harder with out them. Whether it's because I'd have half as many clothes, or because I wouldn't always have my best friend with me, I need my sisters.

1. Best advice

Sisters always look out for each other. Whether it's a stressful day at school or the inability to pick out a shirt for a party, somehow sisters always know how to solve your problems. Their advice is intended to help. Although their brutal honesty about the shirt you love, but they hate might seem hurtful, you know you have to listen because a sisters advice matters more than anything.

2. They keep your secrets

There's a reason no one says anything when mom asks who ate the tub of ice cream from the freezer even though they all know it was you. No matter how big or small, the secrets you tell your sisters will always stay between you and them.

3. Their friends are your friends

In high school especially, having friends in different grades is common. With two or three sisters in high school at the same time, there's almost a guarantee that you will share some of the same friends. Whether they meet at a soccer tryout or in your basement, don't be surprised when you see your sister texting one of your friends.

4. More than one closet

Multiple closest has to be one of the best things about your sisters. Having double or triple the closets of everyone else is so awesome. Whether it's a dress for a date or a shirt for job interview, you can always rely on your sisters to make sure you look super cute.

5. Guaranteed BFF

In life, friends come and go but you can always depend on your sisters to be with you through it all. They are always there for you no matter what happens. Fights between sisters are likely, but it's nearly impossible to cut them out of your life when their bedroom is right across the hall.

6. Constant Encouragement

Even though their honesty can be hurtful, you can always rely on your sisters to encourage you to do your best. Sisters make the best cheerleaders at sporting events and other activities. Seeing you succeed makes them feel as happy as they feel when they succeed.

7. Someone to hangout with

Although you might be disappointed when your best friend can't come over for movie night or a sleepover, there's no need to be sad because sisters are always willing to stay up late eating ice cream and watching Netflix.

8. You learn from their mistakes

Just like Hannah Montana said in the songs my sisters and I used to jam out to, everybody makes mistakes. The plus side to having sisters is you know that you won't make the same mistakes they did. Watching their mistakes guides you to not make the same ones.

Life would not be the same without sisters. Sisters are the biggest blessing and always something to be thankful for. They have come into your life and made it better.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
