A Letter To My Sisters

As my little sisters' birthday draws near, I thought I would write them a letter about what it's been like to their big sister.

Dear B and C,

I cannot begin to tell you guys how much I love you. You two have changed my life in more ways than you know. I am so lucky to have sisters like you and I don't know what I would do without you. We may drive each other crazy but it's with love.

Happy 15th birthday. I cannot believe my little sisters are 15. Because I was almost five when you two were born, I only have vague memories. However, I remember being so excited to meet you two. Dad and I raced down this hill from the parking lot to the hospital doors and then we walked into mom's hospital room. She had this doctor's kit which was "from" you two. I don't remember much after that, but I remember helping Mom and Dad out around the house, grabbing bottles, bibs, diapers and other things. You two turned our house upside down but in the greatest way. I finally had two people to brag about, two people to play with, two people to blame stuff on, and it was great.

I want you to know how proud I am of you two. The things you have done and accomplished are amazing. I can't wait to see what you will do in the future. I have loved going to your many softball/basketball games and other sports that I can't keep track or don't understand. I love seeing you sing throughout much of your lives, most recently with the Nightingales. Even though I have been away at school and have had to miss some of these events, I very much enjoy hearing about them.

I love being your big sister. I love being with you, going to your games, going on vacations, or just having dinner together. We always have something to laugh about. I like that I can be there for you if there is a problem or you need advice. I am always going to look out for you so get used to it.

I am so lucky to have sisters like you. I love you so much.

Happy Birthday!

Love, Maddie

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.
