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

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
