An Open Letter To My Little Sister
Alexis Williams

Hi Sis,

I sleep in the room next to you, but writing this was easier than saying it. I love you. Yes believe it or not, I love you like you're my, well, sister.

You have the best personality. And you do so many things that I admire you for. You are so assertive. You know what you want and you know what you're going to say. You are so stubborn and sometimes I feel like the exact opposite.

You're so beautiful. You're so different from when we were little it's insane. Your hair is so long and it's crazy how much you've grown up from just last year alone. I can't believe you're almost an adult, it racks my brain just thinking about it.

I know you'll do great things though. You've always had a good heart even though you may not always show it. You're tough. You never let anyone sway the way you think.

I love the way you stand up for yourself, no matter how awful the moment may be. You aren't scared, you let them know exactly who they're messing with. Like I said, you've always been tough.

You have a great mind. You work so hard for the grades you have in school. You're a genius. You overcame everything to be where you are academically.

I'm proud of you. No matter how much I yell at you and I hope you know that.

We get along one minute and then the next your livid, leaving me confused as to why you're even mad.

You confuse me every second of every day. I'm still not sure if you like me even though you've been slice for like what, 16 years.

I remember when you were little. Always wearing overalls and those pink chucks that I was always jealous of. I remember you throwing a baby doll at my face and knocked out my tooth that I was going to the dentist to get removed the very next day, thanks for that by the way.

We always sing too loud in the car and laugh way too loud when dad tries to watch TV. We can't help it though, sometimes we just need to laugh together or else we'll just cry.

When we really get along its rare. We argued more than anything in the world about the stupidest things. Taking too long in the shower to not checking my phone while I'm driving to accidentally losing your sweater that you deliberately told me not to misplace... Oops.

When we're together we eat a lot more Taco Bell then we should. We eat a lot more of everything to be completely honest. That's always your fault.

We disagree. So much, it may be a little unhealthy. But we love each other!

You're full of spunk. I'm kind of reserved. You're definitely quieter than me, I'm always yelling even if I don't know it.

But what matters is that I love you, every part of you. Even the parts that make me angry.

We are completely different. And that's perfectly fine.

XOXO,

Your Big Sister

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
