An Open Letter For My Sister

What would the world be without you?

Jan 17, 2017

What would I do without you? When I was little I would’ve never thought we would be as close as we are today. My younger self would’ve never believed me if I were to go back and tell her. Now in 2017, you are the most important person in my life; the person I run to for advice on problems I have.

I remember when we used to live at our old house back in Milton, you would always take care of me when mom or dad were at work. I would always seem to do the most stupid things anyone could ever think of! I remember the time where I almost choked on that quarter and you came in and saved me. Or the times where we would go to parties and I was always with you because I was so shy. I always remember when I started school, you came on the bus with me so I wouldn't get lost because we have just moved to our new home. Then that one time in the new house where I was climbing on the tall dresser and it fell on top of me. You and Daniel came running into the room and helped me out. Yeah, I was a pretty dumb kid growing up.

When you first went to SDSU for college and Daniel went to St. Cloud, I was heartbroken. It was only me and my parents at home and things tend to get a bit boring at home with no one to talk to. We would often text each other, but not very much as you were busy with school. When you returned from school for the weekends and holidays it was fun having you guys around again. I wouldn't admit to anyone at the time, but I missed you guys a lot. Especially you.

As we have gotten older we have gotten closer together than before and have made amazing memories. My freshman year of high school was not the best year for me, but you helped me through it. I love that we like some of the same things. Like watching the Vampire Diaries, The Originals and talk about makeup. We always have something to talk about and it is never is it a boring day with you.

Now I am a Senior in High School and it's almost time for graduation. I am writing to this for you. I wanted to say thank you; thank you so much for everything you have done for me. Thanks for taking care of me, giving me advice and being there when I needed you there. I love you so much and no one will ever replace you in this world.

Sincerely, your baby sister

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
