An Open Letter To My Sister
Days of the Year

To my sister,

It is weird to say that I have a sister, since I grew up without one. We officially met in December 2015, and it was the scariest moment of my life. We then spent the weekend together in February. That weekend was one of the best times in my life. We spent almost all our time together that weekend. We got to learn more about each other having a good time.

We grew up separate and did not really know about each other. We never got to all that sisterly stuff that happens when you grow up together. I lived in several different states while you lived in one. I never had to share my toys, but I kind of wish that had happened. I never had to share my clothes and never had to share a room.


I have always wanted a sister, but instead I got two brothers. Once we met, we started growing a bond that can't be broken. We are sisters and I love you. There are several things I want to tell you, and it's better late than never.

One thing that I want to tell you is that I would do anything for you. I know it's hard to think about, since I am far away, but if something happened, I would be right there for you. I am always up to talking and hearing about anything going on in your life.

I want you to know that you are protected. If someone ever does anything wrong by you, I'd be right there to beat them up and make sure you are alright. I am just one phone call away.

We have not known each other long, but you are already becoming one of my best friends. Every time we talk or are together we have a good time. We share laughs and tears together. You can tell me anything and I will not judge you. I will keep your secrets and I know you will do the same for me.

The last thing I want you to know is that I love you! I do not say it very much, but I do love you.

Love,

Your Sister

"Sister. She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child.” ― Barbara Alpert

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
