A Note To My Big Sister

I guess you're kind of cool.

A Note To My Big Sister
SarrahBetz

Big Sister,

You're kind of cool I guess. I mean, we used to fight and bicker all the time, especially when you saw me in the same out and refused to let that happen, but I think we have gotten better as we have gotten older. That might, partly, be because we have such different styles and you dress so much classier than me, ya know, in my combat boots.

Anyway, I wanted thank you for always being the one to drive us everywhere, as you know I am lazy and hate driving. Also, thanks for always having to experience all this 'adulting' stuff first so I can ask you how to adult as the situations arise for me. (Remember when we had the same teacher or professor and I could use your notes instead of mine because I am a terrible note taker? I did good in school because of you... well, certain classes, anyway.)

I would also like to apologize for all those times I was a brat when we were younger. I guess I just liked abusing the 'little sister' stereotype and get you in trouble when you really didn't do anything. But, hey, you survived that and now you live on your own with a great job. You survived my wrath and our fighting... you can do anything!

You are a professional at putting up with being my, as I call it, 'personal stylist.' Whether it is when I Snapchat you early in the morning asking you if my outfit looks okay or if we are actually out shopping and I constantly ask you question after question. "Can I pull these pants off?" "Only if you don't go out in public."

Oh, and never let me forget to thank you for all the times you painted my nails with the fanciest designs, put up with my Friday night 80's dancing and singing and making me think I was funnier than I ever was while we played our games of 'Don't Make Me Laugh.'

You are a trooper. I don't know how you put up with me and my terrible antics as a kid. For all these reasons and more, you are pretty cool, and I'm super proud of where you are today. You may not know it, but I secretly look up to you. Why wouldn't I want to be happy doing something I like everyday?

Love,

Sis

Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
