To my Opposite Sister

Though we're made with the same genes, we couldn't be more different

To my Opposite Sister
@celine_wright

I'm the youngest sister of two girls, just my sister and me. We're two years apart, but it seems as if we're two worlds apart. Early on, we both realized how different we were in almost every aspect of life. Before grade school, I was very girly, changed my outfit five times in a day and did my hair everyday while she was quite the tomboy, threw on whatever clothes were clean and brushed her hair and called it good. I was always a social butterfly, so I had friends from preschool call me and wanna talk to me all the time while my sister kinda kept more to herself, which is okay!

Primary school rolled around and I joined cheerleading for young kiddos while my sister wanted to ride four wheelers at home. I still cared about my physical appearance and my sister just really couldn't care less about hers. I loved school and learning and my sister went because she had to. Elementary school rolled around a few years later and I grew a little into my tomboy years when I wore basketball shorts and crocs. My sister still wore jeans and t-shirts. I got more into hanging out with friends, while my sister got more into drawing and artsy things. I still loved school and she still didn't care.

Then came middle school and high school. I gradually grew into the person I am today. I started wearing quality clothes and makeup, worked on my academics and did my best in everything I set my mind to in order to succeed. My sister, however, did bare minimum when it came to school; the only thing she had her mind on was to graduate and get out of that hell of a high school. Don't get me wrong, high school wasn't my favorite place to be, but I never resented it. I got along with everyone and built strong relationships between my friends and my teachers because that's what was important to me. My sister has always been and will always be an introvert, and that is still okay!

So, even though my sister and I are different in every piece of life, I don't think I could ever love a human as much as I love her. We would do anything for each other and I know that if I needed her right now, she would already be in her car on her way. She's my rock and I'm her safety blanket and I wouldn't want it any other way. We fought a lot when we were little because we were so different, but now we appreciate each other for their individuality and that is what makes our bond so beautiful and inseparable. They say opposites attract and I now know what that really means.

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?

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.
