7 Things I've Learned From Growing Up With Amazing Sisters
Jerralyn Davis

Having sisters is truly a blessing in disguise. On one hand, they know exactly what to do to tick you off, but on the other, they love you unconditionally. I'm the middle child of three girls and I wouldn't have it any other way. Here are seven things that my sisters have taught me.

1. Never take life too seriously.

Is it really that life-threatening that they borrowed something without asking? Nope. And that means that you have free reign to borrow whatever you want from their closet.

2. Fights don't have to last forever.

Siblings, sisters especially, know first hand what it's like to fight. Nothing is off-limits and everything is out in the open. As soon as the fight begins, it's over in a matter of seconds. At the end of the day, they're the only people that can insult you and give you a hug at the same time.

3. Stop being so dramatic.

My sisters know firsthand how dramatic I can be. I know it too. Sometimes, it's hard to calm down and rationalize the situation. They're the only people that truly understand me and the reason that I act the way that I do.

4. Identical outfits are the worst.

When I was younger, my mom would dress all three of us alike. Right down to the hair bows and shoe laces. It was cute at first, but then it started to get annoying because everyone would get us confused. It's difficult to set yourself apart from the crowd when there are two other people dressed exactly like you.

5. It's okay to talk about your feelings.

My sisters have seen me at my best but have also seen me at my worst. Regardless of the situation, or whether or not I'm at fault, they always make time out of their busy days to be there for me when I need them. Whether it be a simple text in the group message or a phone call, I know my sisters will listen to me and be there for me no matter what.

6. Sometimes we are the only people that will understand our jokes.

Whenever I tell a joke to my sisters, they always laugh. They just understand me. They understand how my brain works and they were the ones that helped me attain my dazzling sense of humor. If I tell the same joke to someone else, they're not going to get it. And I'm okay with that.

7. The bonds of sisterhood can never be broken.

No matter how hard anyone tries, it's impossible to break the bonds between sisters. No man, woman, or child could ever come between us. We've been through and know too much about each other to throw that away.

At the end of the day, I love my sisters with all of my heart. I would do anything and everything for them. Being able to grow up with two amazing women has been the biggest blessing in life. I can't imagine my life without my sisters by my side and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
