In This Article:


1. The arguments

If you're a sibling, you know that arguing in inevitable. Siblings argue and there is no way of getting around that. Arguing at the time is not even the slightest bit of fun, and it makes you want to throw a chair at them sometimes, but there is nothing like arguing with a sibling. It teaches you how to share, how to be kind, how to not hit people you're mad at, and more. It is much harder to learn these things as a single child. Thank your sibling or siblings for all the wonderful arguments you had when you were younger, because you wouldn't be who you are today without them

2. Someone who is always there

Friends come and go, but family stays. No matter how stupid you are, or what dumb thing you do, your sibling is there right by your side through it all. It is easy to not acknowledge the fact that they are always there because you are just so used to it. Having someone who will always have your back is a blessing and you never want to let that go.

3.The unconditional love

No matter how many times you insult each other, or how many Barbie dolls your brother destroyed, you will always love each other. There have been so many times that I was mad at my sisters, and I swore I would never forgive them, and there I was the next day laughing with them again. There is a bond between siblings that you can't get with just anyone. That bond is special and sacred. Keep it in your heart forever!

4.The hugs

My sisters are not the lovey huggy type, but I am. Every time I try to hug my little sister, I get the stiff arm or the dead fish. It's really nice. Then on some days, she'll actually come up to ME and hug me. I cherish those hugs like no other, and you should too. This is depressing, but one day you may not be able to hold them in your arms again, so take in every second of that hug, and force them to hug you back!

5.The friendship

Your siblings are automatically in the family category, but they are actually a friend too. Anyone who deals with you and all of your imperfections and temper tantrums is a really good friend. I don't know what i'd do without my sisters and they are all my best friends!

6.The laughs

Have you ever laughed so hard you cried with your sister or brother? Or been at the dinner table with your family and make a joke that only you guys get? I have never laughed harder with anyone else. I can be as weird or crazy as I want and my sisters will just laugh about it. I just always have a genuine good time with them and that's an amazing thing!

7.The cries

There have been so many times where I have been balling my eyes out and my sisters come and comfort me or hold me until I stop crying. We may fight and may annoy each other, but no matter what we are there at the drop of a dime. There is nothing like a sibling relationship where you have someone who will go through the good and the bad times with you.

8.The competition

I don't know about you guys, but my sisters and I like to be the favorite child in the household. We try to outdo each other in everything. Having the Wii growing up was a disaster because we are all really competitive and temper tantrums would be an hourly thing. That competition, though, teaches you how to not be a sore loser, or how to be a fair winner. Of course, you may still be a sore loser with them still, but hey, you still learned.

9.They know you really well

My sister know be better than I know myself. They know what I'm thinking, what I'm feeling, and more. Whenever I am about to make a decision I may regret, they sit there and play the devil's advocate. They know when you're not being yourself and easily can call you out on it. You always need that person in your life that will check you and keep your head straight.

10.Secret keepers

I don't know who else I would talk to or tell my secrets to if I didn't have my sisters. They are people I can trust with anything and it is always good to have someone to talk to about things you don't feel comfortable talking to with anyone else. Some friends will do this, but most of the time secrets are leaked, but not with siblings. We protect each other and trust each other with everything.

I love having siblings and having a relationship with all of them is a blessing. If you don't have that great of a relationship with them, try to build one and I promise you won't regret it!

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.
