A Letter To My Sister From Another Mister

Just because we don’t share blood, doesn’t mean we aren’t sisters.

A Letter To My Sister From Another Mister

To, my better half...my best friend...my sister from another mister,

I cannot truly express to you how much you mean to me because you mean so much more than any words or action can describe.

When you first walked into my life all those years ago, I didn't even think about us becoming friends. We have been in each other's lives now since the second grade and it was only a few years ago we became what we are today.

I think it goes without saying that you have helped me become me in more ways than not. You have always been there to make me laugh when I am sad, or give me the blunt honesty that maybe I didn't want to hear, but needed to.

Kaytlynne, I love you more than I love my ice cream, I love you more than Bucky Barnes, I love you like you were my sister...because let's face it, at this point you are.

I know we may not agree on all the same things, like how Endgame was, indeed, a great movie, but our love for fandoms makes up for it.

Despite going to two different schools, an unfortunate eight hours away, you are still the first person I go to in times of need. Our FaceTime calls were truly what helped get me through my first year of college.

It is summer now and we are both finally home. I cannot wait to watch movies, play badminton, eat ice cream, and laugh at stupid memes.

To my best friend, my better half, my sister...

Thank you for being you and being my friend. There is only one you, and I am oh so happy that I get to call you my friend. I love you to the moon and back.


I wrote this for my good friend, Kaytlynne, who has been in my life since the second grade but only recently became my friend a few years ago when we had drivers training together. I have learned that people we have known most of our lives sometimes don't play an important role until later on.

Even though I did not have the pleasure growing up with her, I am grateful to be growing old with her.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
