To My Younger Sisters

Being the oldest can be hard, this is to my younger sisters.

We love em, sometimes. We don't love them so much other times. Our younger siblings are sometimes our best friends and sometimes the complete opposite and you hate each other's guts.

I have a weird relationship with each of my younger sisters. One I'm somewhat close to. She'll talk to me, heck she will even text me out of the blue (granted it's usually a picture of her hedgehog). The other barely acknowledges me when I'm home and like never texts me unless she's really needing help with something. That's just how it goes.

I'm the oldest. I'm the big sister who had the rules that now they only have to deal with somewhat like no tattoos before they're 18 but they can get away with stuff I couldn't. I had to drive them places against my will sometimes but hey that's life. Now I'm 20 and the next oldest is 16. Not gonna lie it kinda scared me when she got her license but it also made me feel like the 3 of us, in general, are growing up way too fast. I can only imagine how my mom feels.

I can't lie and say my little sisters are my best friends because quite frankly they aren't. I love them but my best friends are the adopted sisters I've come to claim. My sisters know they can come rave and rant to me and it would stay between us (unless I'm super concerned) but I do what I can for them even when I'm an hour and a half to two hours away.

I wish them luck on big tests like finals or driving tests. I give them a small push if they're feeling down to help boost them up. I get on their case if they're driving our mom nuts.

College has made me realize the relationship I have with my sisters. We still take goofy pictures when I am home but that's usually on breaks. I sometimes feel left out and that I'm missing some big things like my youngest sister starting her first day of high school, but she did text me and missing the moment my other sister came home with her driver's license. Those are biggish moments in my family and I missed those but there are other things I'll hopefully see, like high school graduations for sure. I love my sisters even though I want to strangle them on occasion but that's just how it goes.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
