I am the big sister of one little girl and four little boys. I am the oldest of all my siblings. My siblings can be very annoying, but they're also my friends. I don't know who I would be with out them. They make my days a little brighter and my heart a little warmer. I love my big sister duties, like singing bedtime songs and helping them with homework.

I haven't been able to do these things as often since coming to college. If you are a big sister like me, there are a few things about this job that are pretty great. Here are my favorite things about being a big sister.

The drawings my siblings make me

From little doodles to homemade birthday cards, I love it all.

Being my siblings' biggest fan

I go to their football games, cheer leading, band concerts, field days and school plays.

Being idolized

I can't tell you how many times I've heard the words, "I want to be like sissy." I love being someone my siblings can look up too.

Arts and Crafts

I love spending time making things with my siblings, We make gingerbread houses and homemade gifts for our family.

Having built in best friends.

No matter where life takes us, I will only be a phone call away from them. Siblings are your friends for life. You share an unbreakable bond.

I am so grateful for my younger siblings. Being a big sister is the biggest blessing I have ever been given.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
