Benefits Of Being The Younger Sister
Angie Pemberton

I was blessed with one older sister and I can honestly say I wouldn't be half the person I am today if she wasn't in my life. Also, I wouldn't have half the clothes I do if it wasn't for her!

We may fight, but at the end of the day I know she would do anything for me. I also know that if she called me needing anything I would be there for her. All the fights we break out into are usually pointless; I can only remember the cause of a handful so most weren't worth the trouble, and I think she would agree with that statement.

The past few years of living states away has been so hard for me. I can't begin to describe how much I have missed having her around. Earlier this year she was half a world away from me so our communication wasn't as strong as it normally is, but that just means our greetings are so much louder and so much more welcoming. Seeing her face (which is eerily similar to mine) after a long break always brightens up my life!

Looking through old photos, I can't believe the way I used to dress. Praise the Lord that my sister finally knocked some sense into me and let me rummage through her closet! I adore going shopping with you, even if we don't go often, or shop at the same stores. I know you'd never lie to me about how something looks.

I couldn't survive family vacations without you. Whether it's swimming with sharks, or going on a walk, you are right beside me through it all. When we need an escape from our parents, even though we love them, you are there to distract me and love me!

You give great boy advice. We've both gone through heartbreak. But you did it first. I am so glad I could learn from you, even though you weren't always open about your feelings, I know you cared enough to show me how to get by.

Through everything, I can say I have loved being your little sister and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

- To Kendall.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
