5 Reasons You Should Go To The Same College As Your Sister

Yes, my sister and I both attend the same school: Butler University. We're dawgs and proud. Sharing the same school with your sibling can be one of the best experiences. Although I never admitted it before, I was super excited when my sister chose to go to Butler after deciding between a huge list of colleges. Now that we're a few weeks into the semester, I know the next two years will be full of lunch dates and plenty of laughs! Here's why you should go to the same college as your sibling.

1. She's always there when you need her 

Butler is already a pretty small campus, but when you really need to vent or spill some gossip, you sister is literally less than a mile away (sometimes even a few leaps and bounds). Whether you had a rough day or just want to share a laugh, it's nice to know your sister will always be there for a hug or shoulder to cry on!

2. Lunch is never lonely 

Some of my favorite moments are during the most hectic and cranky part of the day - lunch. People are practically plowing down each other to get a meal, but when your sister is around you can laugh about it together and enjoy a brownie (or seven) together. We also share plenty of coffee dates and spend a little too much money out getting dinner (don't tell our dad).

3. You have two closets to choose from 

Imagine - you literally haven't done laundry in weeks and you desperately need socks. When your sister's socks and clothes are only a few minutes away, you know you'll never go without clothes. On multiple occasions, I've stopped by her dorm to change clothes or take a break from the day.

4. Your family doesn't have to travel everywhere 

In one full trip, my dad can visit us both. Less time traveling and less money in hotel rooms - just more visits from your family members!

5. You can support each other 

When my sister ran (and won) for her residential building senator position, I was able to support her on campus and spread the word. The little things count the most - when your sister is around, you always have a support system.

Above all, spending time with your siblings is not lame or uncool after high school. We do different things, study different subjects and lead different lives, but when you really need her, she's there.

Good luck during your next four years at Butler, Lauren! Go Dawgs!

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
