A Letter To My Little Sisters

To the girls I would do anything for.

A Letter To My Little Sisters
Olivia Atzen

You girls are the most beautiful and amazing people in my life, and I can never express to you how happy I am that God picked you two to be my little mini me's.

Driving you to school, picking you up, running you around for practices or to friends houses; all these things I complain about and hate every time I have to do them. Whether it's waking me up at 7 AM when you're trying to be quiet while stealing clothes from my closet, hearing you scream because you got the brush stuck in your hair, or fighting with each other about who gets the last frozen waffle, it's these little things that'll mean the most to me when I am gone away at college and don't have them anymore.

Alyssa: You are so athletic and smart and beautiful. I know you have the brightest future coming for you. Stay in sports and always put your best effort in girl; it'll take you so far. And, please keep using that big head of yours; not only will it carry you through school, but it will keep you out of trouble (unlike me). Stay away from girls who start drama because they only want to see you get worked up about it. I'm not going to tell you to stay away from boys because I know you'll fall for a cute baseball player, or, who knows, maybe the star quarterback; I know you'll be totally mesmerized by his beauty, and that's okay because everyone needs some love in their life. But, what I will tell you is do not ever let a boy tell you that you are less than he is; do not let a boy treat you anything less than what you know you deserve. Boys suck. They will hurt you, but you just need to know that your happiness is what's important, and no one can take that away from you.

Ava: You are such a beautiful ball of fire. So much energy and knowledge crammed into such a little body, and I just don't understand how it is possible. Your future is going to be so bright. Keep putting yourself out there and loving all the attention you get. Don't be shy around people; just be nice and loving like you always are. You're so young and have so far to go, but don't get ahead of yourself and don't wish to grow up too fast. Take it one day at a time and have fun, because before you know it, you'll be a senior in high school waiting for an acceptance letter from your number one choice school. Spend time with your friends and make some amazing memories.

I know I'm leaving you soon, but when I leave don't forget how beautiful and talented you two are.

Love you guys.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
