Benefits Of Being The Younger Sister

It's been an honor to learn under you.

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.

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.
