I Have Always Wanted A Big Sister

I was blessed with the best gift, my little sister.

I Have Always Wanted A Big Sister
Nicole Lender

Growing up, I always wanted a big sister. I saw a lot of friends being able to talk to their older siblings for advice, share their clothes, do their hair, and just be two peas in a pod. Their big sister is someone they would look up to and wanted to be just like one day. My sister is younger than me, she can’t fit in my jeans, she hates having her hair touched, but I mean it when I say that girl is my best friend.

My sister is 16 years old, she is way too pretty for her own good, and she knows it too. She is probably the most confident person I know, which is so amazing to me. If you know her, you know she has a super feisty attitude and will let you know how she feels. She has never been afraid to speak her mind and she doesn’t care about what people think unless it’s those she’s close to. She has got the kindest heart and the strongest shoulders, she can carry other people’s weight aside from her own. She has the brightest smile and the best sense of humor, she can make anyone laugh even when they don’t want to. She is a hard person to stay mad at, and she doesn’t hold grudges. She lets you know when you are wrong even when it hurts. She can’t sing that well, but she will be sure to sing louder than the radio. She Is full of wisdom, she hasn’t been through much yet, but I swear her advice she gives is as if she has. She is there to wipe your tears, make you laugh, and tell you you’re stupid for crying. She keeps it real when it’s meant to, but fun when needed. I admire her work ethic and drive to do things, even when she doesn’t want to. I admire her love for life and her care free heart. She loves with no limits, and gives so much, but only to people she knows will put effort into her as well. She is smart in so many ways, whether its school, or just with life in general. She has a one of a kind personality, with a one of a kind heart.

I will never have a bigger sister to do my hair, let me steal her clothes, or gets mad when I am in her room but I have something even better. I am blessed with a little sister who gives me the best guidance and is always there to listen to me complain over and over about the same things. God gave me someone who never will leave my side, keeps it honest, and inspires me to not care how or what other people think of me. She is my favorite duet partner, comedian, scary movie watcher, outfit analyzer, potential boyfriend stalker, ice cream date, and cuddle buddy even though she hates to be touched. She is the only person I trust completely with my life and the aux cord. She is my person. My best friend. My hero.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
