8 Things about Having 2 Sisters
Steven Tolle

A sister is a person who loves you unconditionally. Someone who is in your past and present and will be in your future. I was blessed to have two sisters. One sister is only a year older than I am and another is only two years older. My parents had three daughters all under the age of two-and-a-half. Now some would think that is pure crazy, but for me, it was the best thing on earth. The experiences the three of us had is not like any relationship out there.

Nap Time Didn’t Exist

How could you spend that hour of freedom sleeping when your favorite play buddies were right next to you? Lucky for you, you were three times more likely to hear your parents come to wake you up.

Making Fun Of Each Other Is More Fun

Watching your one sister fail at something is always more fun to make fun of when you have another person to help you. At least one of your sisters will have seen you fall on your butt walking into school and they would go tell the other. Most of all though they will never forget your embarrassing moments you had when you were younger like forgetting to wear pants out of the house to a public event. Lucky for you one of them can always be counted on to bring up those moments.

You Have Triple The Amount Of Clothes

If you didn’t like your wardrobe, then there was a completely different one right around the corner. Eventually, no one knows who actually owns each piece of clothing because it has been passed around by three different people. You always have to be careful with that though because socks and underwear are just as likely to be accidentally shared as the rest of your clothes.

Boredom Isn’t A Thing

When your best friends live in the same house as you, you have three times the amount of Netflix shows to be introduced to, multi-player board games, constant gossip and shared friends from three different grades.

Fights Were More Than An Everyday Occurrence

“She hit me."

She took the last hot dog."

"I called sitting in the passenger seat.”

No matter what it was from the smallest mistakes to a big mistake, a fight would always break out. With three of us there were endless things to fight about because there was always the tattletale that would start something and blame it on someone else. (A lot of times that was me. Oops!) Suddenly when the fights became physical and one of you started to cry there were two people to make you feel better.

Advice Is Legit

There was always two opinions.Two opinions about if that guy is cute or how to break it to mom and dad that you failed your chemistry test. Sending a text message that was extremely serious always took hours to figure out what exactly to say because you would argue about the right thing to write.

The Memories

From running around naked in the backyard as a kid, to remembering how amazing your grandpa was, your sisters were always there to have the same experiences you had. The tears, anger, happiness and excitement was shared between those two people who mean everything to you. Those late nights talking about mom and dad and how weird they are can only be done with your sister because you’re the only ones who actually know how weird mom and dad actually are.

Loving From Afar

Growing up is hard especially when college comes around. When all three of you are in different places at different schools. Not having my sisters by my side every day is a challenge, but knowing that no matter what happens and what becomes of you, your sisters will always love you because they’re a part of you.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
