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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
