An Open Letter To My Little Sister

I am always here for you.

An Open Letter To My Little Sister

To My Biggest Fan,

Do you know how special it is to be a big sister? It means loving someone unconditionally, always having someone to "hang out" with, and having a lifelong friend. I am so happy that you are my little sister. As I watch you grow older, there are a few things I want to tell you.

First of all, I want to tell you how proud I am of all you have accomplished thus far. I have watched you grow up from a little baby to a spunky, independent preteen, and I want you to know that no matter what, I will always be your biggest fan. As you continue to grow up, you will encounter challenges that will test your strength and courage. I want you to know that I am here for you every step of the way.

When things don't go right and you feel all alone, come to me. I have been through the challenges of middle school and high school, and I have dealt with bullying. Though it hurts me to see you go through these things, I want you to know that you need to stay true to yourself. When you have a question about growing up, come to me. When I was your age all I wanted was a big sister, and I never had one. I want to be that person for you. I want to be the one you come to when you need advice, a hug, or a helping hand.

As you grow up, you continue to amaze me with all the things that you do. Keep being you, and don't let anything dull the light that shines from within. I wish you could stay little forever. Since that is not possible, all I ask is that we stay close. I want you to always feel comfortable to ask me any question in the whole world. I want you to feel that you can trust me with your biggest secret, and I want to be the first one to know when you have something exciting to share.

I will hold you in my arms, as I always have, when you experience something that makes you sad or afraid. I will help you through your first heartbreak, and I will help you see that you are always loved. I want you to feel like you can always come to me.

Last but not least, I want to thank you. Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you for giving me something to smile about, for giving me someone to be proud of. Even on my worst days, when all I want to do is give up, you smile at me and give me the strength to keep going.

You are at a very special part of your life: when middle school is approaching. I can't promise that you won't be bullied, I can't promise that you won't be made fun of. I can't promise that everyone will like you. But I can promise you this: no matter what happens, for as long as I live and even after that, I will always, always be your big sister.

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.

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.

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!
