A Letter To My Big Sister,

Growing up with both a sister and a brother, I got the best of both worlds. As close as I am to my brother, I am even closer to my sister. I mean, we have to be since we shared a room for like eight years. So here is a letter to you, to show you how much I appreciate you.

We are probably the last people to talk about our love and emotions for each other. The thought of hugging each other makes us gag. But with every gag is a giggle, because we know that we love each other without having to say it or show it in the traditional way. Just know that when I make fun of you it is me saying that despite all of the crazy things you do, I still love you unconditionally. Just know that when I become best friends with your significant others, it is really me getting to know them better so I know if they are worthy of dating someone so special. Just know that when I make you watch my favoriite TV shows with me, it's because I want you to be a little bit a part of every aspect of my life.

You are a great big sister and I have learned so much not only from your words but your actions. You are so educated and always taught me to "stay woke." Your actions for protesting for equality and educating me on social justice issues has had a huge impact on me becoming the person that I am today.

There will be no other person that will have as much as an impact as you do on me. I will never be able to read anyone else's mind. No one else will be able to decode what I said to our parents when I talk too fast with food in my mouth. No one else will understand all of the references I make even when I don't remember where they are from.

With everyone I meet in life, no one will compare to you. I don't say it because I hate emotions, but you are my favorite person and I love you. I can't wait to travel and have so many adventures with you!

Love,

Your Baby Sister

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
