An Open Letter To My Older Sister

An Open letter to my older sister,

If you have an older sister, consider yourself the luckiest person in the world. Having a sister to look up to is something to be extremely thankful for.

So big sis, if I don’t say it enough, thank you, thank you, thank you for...

Your closet:

I mean, this goes both ways, am I right? Thanks for always sharing, well maybe not sharing... but I stole it anyway. You are one stylish girl.

Playing mom:

There’s something so different about getting yelled at by your sister rather than your mom. It’s as if you disappointed a best friend. Thanks for always playing the mom role when necessary… and sometimes, it’s not necessary at all.

Always supporting me:

You’re the open ear. You’re the one person I can tell anything and everything to and you won’t judge. Well, maybe sometimes you’ll give me your cold hearted opinion, but sometimes that’s exactly what I need to hear.

Sharing your friends with me:

Your friends are my friends, and my friends are yours. I’m constantly going to your friends for advice and my friends know that they can always go to you. I know that your best friends are always there for me no matter what.

Boy Advice:

I don't think anyone knows me better than you do. You truly know what's good and bad for me. You know who has my heart, and you protect me from getting hurt, always. Whether it's a question on what to wear on a date or whether or not I should dump a guy, you always bring great advice to the table.

For being my role model:

This literally needs no explanation. I’ve been able to look up to you since day one. I will never stop admiring everything that you do.

I’m lucky to have a big sister, and even luckier to have one that I’m so close to. I couldn’t imagine my life without you in it, and I wouldn’t want to. Thanks for not only being my sister, but also being the greatest best friend I could ever ask for. I'm so proud to call you my big sis.

Much Love,

Your little 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.
