To My Little Sister

God's greatest gift to girls was a sister, at least that I how I look at it. Imagine having a best friend who you live with; it's pretty awesome. Life with a sister is just better than life as an only child or life with a brother. It goes beyond just sharing clothes, shoes, makeup, and hair products. The type of bond I have with my sister is unlike the type of bond I have with anyone else. She knows me better than my mom knows me, she can tell when something is wrong immediately and never fails to lend a helping hand when needed. She is the best thing that I could have ever been given.

Sister,

I hope you know how wonderful you are. You are my best friend, my partner in crime, and the oneI can go to for anything. You never fail to make me laugh (even if I try to pretend your jokes are not funny because I want to be the funnier sibling). You simply amaze me in all aspects of life. Your intelligence is something I have always envied, along with your generosity. You are turning into such a beautiful person inside and out and I could not be more proud of you.

Life is not always easy for you but you find a way to make it work anyway. Your ability to overcome struggles and just grow from them is impeccable and you are rarely unhappy, even after a bad day.

Having a sister like you just makes my life easier, even if we are 230 miles, way because of college. I love our weekly FaceTime dates and they never fail to brighten my day. Seeing your smiling face (even if it is only for 30 minutes) is one of my favorite things.

I wish nothing but the best for you as you are growing up and making big life decisions. Deciding where you want to do for the rest of your life and where you want to go to college can be scary, but I know you will make a great choice. It is amazing watching you grow up and see the person you have become because I still remember you being 4 and playing Barbies with me. Although I miss those days, I like these days more. I enjoy having serious conversations with you about life and the people we have become. You have become such an amazing person. I hope you know how beautiful you are inside and out.

You're not only my little sister but also my best friend.

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.
