Sisters Are More Than Just Siblings And Family Members, They're Best Friends

We may fight, argue, and disagree, but I'd be lost without them.

I recently watched a movie where the main character had a little sister who even though they fought, always wanted to protect her older sister. Which made me think about my sisters. There is a 6-7 year age gap between my sisters and I. They get along together much more than I do with them sometimes. They have their inside jokes and mutual friends. Sometimes I get the feeling like I am being left out but I know it's just because I am a lot older than they are. Aside all of that, when I look back at things that have happened to me, my sisters were always there.

People that don't have sisters probably think that it is just like having a best friend, but it is more than that. We're different people but we share the same ideas and feelings when it comes to certain things. Best friends can lose their relationship and move on. They can become enemies and hate each other. We can't. We share DNA. We have a bond stronger than just best friends. No matter what we go through, our doors are always open to each other. I know I can always go to them, have a sleepover and vent. No worries or judgment. Just the best advice we can possibly give. Even best friends can't always do that. So I consider myself lucky.

Being the oldest can make the relationship hard because you always have to be like a second mom but at the end of the day my sisters and I can always laugh and make up. My middle sister would fight anyone to protect us but she also has her creative side where she will make or say something to make everything better. My baby sister, on the other hand, likes to listen to your problems and offer the best solution possible to help. They are both unique and different but when I look closer, I realize they are just different versions of myself.

Even though we are all now getting older, We can tell each other any secret, we still pinky promise things to each other, we have inside jokes, we can tease each other, and we always, always help each other. I am so blessed to have them. They are more than my best friends. I love my sisters. I am thankful God gave them to me as sisters. We all have this understanding that no matter how old we get or where life takes us, our bond is greater. We will always be there for each other.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
