My Sister And I Chose The Same College And TBH? Best Decision Of Our Lives

Wouldn't change anything in the world.

My Sister And I Chose The Same College And TBH? Best Decision Of Our Lives
Zoe Wright

Growing up with sisters can be a pain. You constantly having to share clothes, bathroom time, and fight over unless stuff. They can drive your nerves to the wall. They make you go crazy. Drama after drama. It even gets to the point where your mother has to separate you to make sure you do not end in another catfight.

With all those things being mentioned, there is nothing that I would change in this world.

My older sister is the probably the best thing to ever happen to me.


The day you left for school over 1,500 miles away was one of most heartbreaking things that I have ever endured. I cried basically every night. I lost my second half that day. Even though we would consistently bicker, you were the one person that I could always rely on. You always knew how to make my day better.

So then, when I decided to follow in your footsteps and go to Baylor, I was excited to be reunited with my second half. From the moment that I moved into my dorm room, you made Baylor feel like home. Whenever I felt lost, I knew that I could count on you for your guidance. You are such a caring person that sometimes it drove me crazy how much you had to make sure that I was happy.

Here is a list of some of my favorite memories from attending the Baylor University with my sister these past two years:

1. Friday morning coffee dates

2. Dunkies run

3. Running 5Ks

4. Drive-thrus ;)

5. Trey Brown's class (maybe not a great memory, but I would not have survived without you)

6. Playing lacrosse

7. Scruff's

8. Study dates

9. London and Budapest 2016

10. Football tailgates

11. Seeing you graduate

12. Watching all of the amazing things you are accomplishing in life

Through the happiest days to the worst days, you were always there for me, and that is something that I can not thank you enough for. I am also thankful to have you to fall on whenever I need it and knowing that you will be there even after our biggest fight. To have you during the toughest times and best times. To have you there during the biggest transition in my life. To have you be my best friend forever.

I am forever your biggest cheerleader. I will forever love you even though you set the bar way too high for me to ever come close to reaching it.

I am so lucky to be your younger sister.

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
