An Open Letter For My Sister

What would the world be without you?

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

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?

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.
