Dear Sis,

Here we are after countless years of me standing behind you and watching your move before I make mine, we are nearing the end of the road. As you registered for your last year of college my heart is a little heavier for the time being. My life has been made a whole heck of a lot easier from following your footsteps every step of the way. Some would say that makes me a follower and dependent but I just think it means I am striving for greatness because you have sure made it. As you near the end of this chapter of your life I figured I would tell you a couple things. So, here it goes:

Thank you.

I am more and more thankful every single day for you and all you constantly do for me and everyone around you. Growing up, I often stood from afar and wondered how I would get to where you are. Even at a very, very young age I always hoped to be as great as you. And here we are. I could have gone anywhere in these fifty states for college but I could not part from you or the forever friendship I have with you. I followed you to your college and made my own way alongside you. I joined a new home away from home that was your home too, and I have no regrets. Some sisters feel the need to stray and try to find their own way alone and I have come to find that it has been the best journey of my life watching you and learning alongside from you.

So thank you. Thank you for always supporting me, being my second mom, taking me out on dates, loving me even when I make mistakes, trusting my choices, giving me advice, making the big mistakes first, and always calming me down when my mind was clouded by too much of life going on around me.

You have made worlds move all around you and ever since I was born I wanted to be exactly like you. When you come to college, every little aspect of your life changes and you often become unsure. I am beyond thankful that I was always sure that I had you and even at your hardest times you always seemed to have it all together.

Here's to you and all the other great big sisters out there that pull all of us little sisters along. You have no idea how much you mean and how much we truly love you. There is no one greater in this world than a big sister. You are the first idol I ever had and no one can take that from you.


Love always,

Your Little Sis

To those who celebrate, you just spent an entire day cooking an elaborate meal with all of your favorite foods. You probably ate your body weight in pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. What happens now? Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
