A Letter To My Little Sister

"There is no better friend than a sister. And there is no better sister than you." - Unknown

Nov 10, 2019

Dear Abby,

Lucky you, you're stuck with me. No matter how many times I do or don't say it, I love you. You're my built in best friend and I'm so lucky you came into my life. Having you as a sister has been the best thing that ever happened to me.

I know when we were younger we weren't always the best of friends until it came time for me to leave for college. But, I'm so happy we've become as close as we have. You're the best secret-keeper, the person I can trust the most and you're always there to listen to my rants and cries. I know I must annoy you 99% of the time but, you're my favorite person to annoy.

All the fights over you stealing my clothes, listening to you cry over something mom said to you, how the boys were mean to you, and everything in between are my favorite things. While this may sound weird but, I love that you let me in and allow me to be there as a shoulder to cry on. I know that I've always come to you crying over bullies or small problems, it makes me happy, you feel that you can do the same.

You may be my little sister but I look up to you more than anyone. You've taught me to push past the rough times and that you can do anything if you try. I've watched you go from a terrible gymnast, to a level 9 and then a freshman on the varsity diving team. You've worked so hard to get where you are, injuries and all.

I may be 8 hours away from you the majority of the year but know that I'm only a call away. I'm always here for you to always listen to you rant, tell me about your diving meets and even just to tell me little things. I don't know how many times I've said this and how many more I'll tell you, but I'm so proud of you. I'm proud of everything you've become, the person you are today and will continue to be. I'm proud of all your accomplishments and I love telling people how proud I am of you. No matter how many times we fight I'm still your big sister and I love you no matter what.

My little sister, you're beautiful, determined, hard working, and so talented. Follow your dreams and never give up. No matter what happens in your life, know I'm always proud of you and always look forward to seeing your face. You are so capable of anything you want to do and I'll always be there to cheer you on. I can't wait to continue to watch you grow up.

Love you forever,

Your big sister

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Or at least try to do.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

2. I will look decent for class.

3. I will go to the gym more.

4. I will go to the library and study more.

5. I will meet new people.

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

2. Disappointed you let it get this bad

3. Distracted: When a 10-Minute Break Becomes an Hour

4. When the Yearning for Sleep Sneaks Up

5. In the words of Lorelai Gilmore "Coffee, Coffee, Coffee"

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
