To My Soul Sista As I Leave For College, You Mean So Much More To Me Than You'll Ever Know

Leaving your sister behind while you make your transition back to college actually hurts.

To My Soul Sista As I Leave For College, You Mean So Much More To Me Than You'll Ever Know
Anna Morgan

Sisters are like built-in best friends. They always have been.

We've heard the saying since we were practically born. Isn't that so true, though? You fight, you love, you cry, you laugh, and you do it all together. Most importantly, you could not live without one another.

She's there to steal your clothes that you haven't taken the tags off of, borrow that Kylie Jenner makeup that you haven't even gotten to wear yet, and get on your literal last nerve until you contemplate homicide (& maybe even attempt it, LOL, sorry about that, Bethany). Have you ever seen that quote that is something along the lines of, "having a sister is so weird, like, I would give my sister my liver, but she can't borrow my clothes?" That is such a relatable quote because I don't think anyone can honestly say that they have never lost their cool when their sister stole their shirt, AGAIN, after you've told them 120 times that all they have to do is just ask and you'll gladly let them!

She's also there to encourage you when you feel like you aren't capable of something.

She holds you while you cry after you got your heart broken for the 456,987,233rd time because you ignored all the red flags, again. And, she's there to be your own personal "hype man" because, really, everyone needs one. She's someone who would drop anyone and everything at every beckon just to come save you, help you, or just keep you company. We don't realize how much these little things impact our lives in such big ways until we no longer have them.

Then, you're five days away from moving back to college, and you realize that you don't get to take your sister with you.

She will no longer be right down the hall. She won't just bust open the door when you're just trying to use the bathroom. All the things that annoyed you to death are the things you know you're gonna miss the most.

As you pack your boxes and load your car up, you look in your passenger seat and you realize that you're missing something you very desperately need -- your sister.

So, give her a tight squeeze and take some extra-long looks in your rearview mirror because once you begin your college journey away from home, you have to leave your soul sista behind.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
