A Letter To My Younger Sisters
Caroline's Camera Roll

To my wonderful younger sisters,

First off, let me say getting to be an older sister is one of the biggest blessings in my life. I may not have taught you how to contour your face or give you good fashion advice, but I can teach you how to use proper lifting form, how to stand up and how to be confrontational about what you believe in. Even though I'm the older sister, it seems like I've learned more from you than you have from me. Like how to be kind and genuine, and how to love something so much, you're willing to go practice it for hours a day. I am continually inspired by your drive. If it's for animals or golf, when you love something, you grab it and make your dreams come true.

Although I know when we were younger, I vividly remember us fighting over who got which Barbie doll, what we should name the baby doll and what game we should play in the pool. I'm glad we have matured and grown past that stage and are best friends. I know no matter how unlady-like or rude we are to each other, we will always have the undeniable bond of sisterhood.

I pray that you find a passion that you truly love and that you continue to be motivated to pursue and achieve those dreams. I will continue to pray for your future husband. I pray he is the godly man that He has created for you. While I pray for him, I also pray that you know that you are the moon, sun and the sky and that no one lets you believe different. I pray for your unborn children, that they become children just like you and I pray you know that you can and should send them to me often.

I am not sure what I did or how I got so blessed to have you as my younger sisters. Life without you two would be unbelievably boring. I wouldn't have someone to make Slurpee runs with or someone to constantly bug, and our house would be way quieter. I still find staying home with you much more enjoyable than going out. The nights of playing board games, going to the dog park or watching the same episode of "Friends" will always be fun, because you guys always find a way to make it that much better.

I know we won't always live in the same house together, or even the same state maybe; but we will always be best friends, and I will always be able to pick up the phone and ask you for anything. I will always be in your corner, and will always stand up for you even when you don't want me to. I am so lucky to have you guys as my sisters, mainly because that means you can never get rid of me.

Love,
Your big sister

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
