To my Little Sister

Maybe not by blood but by heart

To my Little Sister,

Sisters, maybe not by blood, but I am pretty sure we were separated considered people think we look alike and are sisters. You turn 17 in a few weeks, 15 days to be exact. I watched you grow and mature these past few years and I am so proud of you and who you are becoming. I watched you struggle, break down, be happy, be excited, and most importantly I watched you change from the worse to the good.

It is amazing how we became so close... considering we said some not so nice words to each other the day we met. That night I sure as hell did not think you would become my best friend nor become my little sister. I also did not think you would continue high school. I really thought you were going to drop out. Now look at you! You are in school and getting your life together! I cannot wait for you to graduate. I will be the loudest and proudest big sister, and I bet you that you will hear me over everyone else.

The fact that people think we are biologically sisters, makes me really happy. I hope you know that my parents basically emotionally adopted you at this point so yeah... you are my little sister and now you have to deal with it. No going back now, you know too much. We act and argue like real sisters and that is what makes this so special.

I love you girl and I am so glad I am able to call you my sister.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
