An Open Letter To My Sister

Hello buttface,

I'm sorry. I had to begin with starting with an insult, what kind of sister what I be if I didn't?

First off, thanks for being my best friend. Having a sister like you means that I always have a life-long best friend. Although sometimes I feel like if we weren't related I would probably never talk to you, I'm thankful to have a sister like you. Thanks for keeping up with the story and telling everyone we were twins just because we were so close in age. A sister means that I'll have someone to share my deepest secrets with and know that no one else will ever know.

Thanks for always letting me borrow your clothes. I'm so glad we were the same size so I always technically had two closets. Thanks for being brutally honest with me when I thought that pink eyeliner in middle school was a good choice. Thanks for teaching me to be girly and showing me how to do makeup. Thanks for showing me to dress in bolder colors and patterns. Thanks for watching Youtube videos with me and slowly going over how exactly to blend my eyeshadow.

Thanks for always being by my side. Thanks for being "stuck like glue" whenever we're at awkward gatherings and sitting in the corner with me, silently judging everyone else.

No matter how far away I am or feel, thanks for always being a phone call away. I appreciate your random texts with pictures of our inside jokes, or how you take time out of your day whenever I'm having a bad day to vent or just cry.

Most of all, I'm just lucky to have an annoying, pain-in-my side, compassionate, sassy and loving sister.

Love,

the Better Sister

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.
