A Letter To My Older Sisters

God may have given me sisters, but I am lucky enough to call you my best friends.

Goofballs,

Well I guess it was only a matter of time huh? You guys have literally been by my side for all of my life and there has never been a time that you have left me in a time of need. I guess this is quite over due, but better late than never...right? So this is for you, my best friends, my role models, my heroes, my sisters.

When we were little you would always play pranks on me. You would put Halloween masks on my alarm clock, or wear them around to scare me. You would essentially make me scared of the dark without knowing it. You used me as a little servant. You told me “ I’ll give you a dollar if you….” and by now I think you owe me over $50, but that’s besides the point. You taught me how to play soccer and softball, I looked up to you guys for everything and wanted to be just like you.

You two helped me grow up, yes our relationship wasn’t always sunshine and roses and we got into a lot of fights but being able to watch you grow and mature only made me want to do the same. Seeing the way you handled situations so flawlessly and going the extra mile for someone you love showed me that I had the best role models in the world. You never let me believe I wasn’t worth someone’s time or that I would never be enough because you were always there when something went wrong.

Through the past 19 years of my life, it is safe to say I have seen some pretty dark days. No matter how dark and gloomy I may have been, I know I have you guys to help me push through and do things for myself. You have taught me that there is no way to describe the feeling of love you get from a sister. You can’t explain all the stupid and goofy moments we have shared along with all the times we have ranted about mom or the dumb stories from the LIRR that day.

You guys have helped shape me into who I am today and I cannot thank you enough for that. All our fights now seem pointless, and every time we got mad or annoyed is irrelevant. Being able to grow up looking to both of you for guidance and advice is all I could ever ask for, but I’m glad I ask for more. I’m lucky that I was given two older sisters, but I am beyond grateful I have two best friends. I love you more than you will ever know!

All my love,

Your Baby Sister

15 Times "Parks and Recreation" Summed Up Your Library Experience

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
