A Letter To My Baby Sister

I can't believe that you're really here.

A Letter To My Baby Sister
Taylor Contarino

To my little sister,

You haven't even said 'da-da' yet, but I can't wait for you to say your first word. More so, I can't wait for us to be able to have sister-sister conversations. I can't wait to hear all about your first crush, first kiss, first report card, sport, best friend, school dance, car, etc. I always have your back. It's a ride or die type thing. When you need me, I'll be here, whether it be if i'm upstairs in my room, driving, at a sporting event, or even away at college all the way across the country.

I love you more than you will ever know. I don't mind waking up at 6 am for finals week at high school after holding you for an hour or so until midnight last night. It's totally worth it for these precious sister bonding moments. Because I don't know where I will be in a couple years- so I enjoy these moments while I can and I don't take them for granted.

I love the fact that everyone comes to see you, and that they love the heck out of you. You deserve to be cuddled up in a bundle of love. I love running your Instagram account- even though everyone knows that you did not take that selfie, and you did not post up those emojis...

I love picking your outfits even though I know they are probably gonna be peed on or eaten on in a couple of hours. I love the fact that you're pretty much my real-life Barbie Doll. Tutus and princess crowns? You don't even mind- well, maybe because you're sleeping like 95% of the time.

I love the fact that you're slowly growing up and becoming "human" before my very own eyes. At first, I just didn't even see you as a tiny human. I saw you as a little baby who probably wouldn't even recognize me until she turned like 2 or 3. But you seriously already have a personality. You do little things that make me realize you are a human. I love when you smile!

I hate when you cry. It makes me sad and I just can never figure out what you're thinking. Like, did I do something wrong? Or do you just want a bottle? The world and myself may never know.

Everything I do from now on will be for you. I want to make sure that I am an awesome role model for you, and teach you how to live the best, most successful, happiest life ever.

I want to inspire you to 'live your best life.' I want you to live with no regrets, have a great time in everything that you do, and spend as much time as possible laughing and being happy, surrounded by people who make you feel loved, wanted, and beautiful. I love you so much and I cannot wait to see everything that you accomplish in your life. Always remember that you are a beautiful, independent, strong, stunning, loved, and wanted woman. I love you forever, whether I'm a mile away or 5,000.

Love always,

Your big sister

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
