The Sister I've Always Wanted

You’re not only my sister-in-law, but my best friend.

The Sister I've Always Wanted
Zoe Neilson

Ever since I was little, I've always wanted a sister. Someone who could teach me about how to do my makeup, talk boys and go shopping with. I’ve always wanted a “girl’s opinion” and someone to tell me I’m not crazy; even if I am. A sister that had my back and someone to always be there for me. Well, I’m the luckiest person alive, because I got her.

You came into my life at the perfect time. I needed a friend, and even though I may not have liked you at first, I know that I love you now. Not only did you bring light and joy into my life, but into my family’s life, and my brother’s. For in the years to come, I needed you more than ever. I needed my sister.

After all that had happened and every last word that was spoken, you stayed by my side. You protected me and lifted me up because honestly, you were the only one I’d listen to. You are amazingly kind and your empathetic heart made you so easy to relate to and rely on for comfort. You got me through some of my darker days, and now have helped make me into the person I am today. Thank you, for being the positive role-model and optimistic driving force in my life.

The biggest thing you gave me was the concept of sisterhood. Through your devotion to me and your love of your sorority. It showed me what it meant to not only be a friend but a sister. You showed me the importance of sticking to things, and not giving up. Even when things were hard, you showed courage and perseverance.

Now, after over more than a decade, you are still the best sister I could have ever asked for. Though we aren’t blood, we are family, and that means more to me than anything. You’re not only my sister-in-law but my best friend. I always know that I’ll be able to lean on you to weather any storm.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
