Growing Up With Two Older Sisters

Being the youngest isn't always bad.

Growing Up With Two Older Sisters
Hailey Ross

Being the youngest sister has pros and cons. In other words, being called the baby of the family is not my favorite, but I learn to manage. Growing up with two older sisters that are only a year apart can be hard at times. Since they are so close in age, they are interested in similar things and get along with the same friend group. Myself on the other hand, I am completely different. I love dogs, and my sister loves cats. I want Chinese food, and my sister wants pizza. I say the sky is blue, and she'll say it's purple. It's almost like we are opposites.

During our elementary school stage, we all thought the same and of course dressed the same. My mom thought it was always a good idea to dress us up in the same outfits for school and Halloween. It was almost like we were triplets. We would all get along, but we were young and vulnerable. We didn't know what the future would bring us at such a young age. My sister, Brielle, is the middle child. She is 21-years-old, and she will be graduating from Florida State University this year. My other sister, Malina, is 22-years-old, and she is a student at Old Westbury back in New York. Last but certainly not least, there is me. I am the youngest, and I am a student at the University of Tennessee. We are all in different states,but we always make time to text or even talk on the phone. Being far away from them can be hard, especially if I need them for something like an outfit approval. We still are not as close as we were when we were younger, but when there is an emergency or I need something to talk to, they always have my back. When I was in middle school, I would always wear my sisters hami-downs. The best part is when someone gave me a compliment on my shirts, I would always grin and say, "Thanks! I just got it. "

No matter what state I'm in or even if I don't speak to them everyday, I still love them. They can drive me crazy, especially when they take my clothes from my room. But, I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. We can fight like cats and dogs sometimes, but we always forgive each other when we buy food for each other. I am forever thankful.

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?
