Never take your sisters for granted.

An Open Letter To My Sisters
Mackenzie Wiley

Dear Older and Younger Sister,

This letter is written to you because I know the things I will say you think about too. We fight, we scream at each other, we take each other's clothes, we pull each others hair. We are sisters. I just want to tell you that you are valued. You mean so much to me, and I know that I mean that much more to you. I am so thankful that God has put both of you in my life. I often have dreams about losing you and wake up crying. I know that you have been put into my life to help me make it through as painless as possible. You will never know how much I appreciate just having you in my presence. There are things that I want you to know.

First, you are lovely. Lovely in all ways imaginable. Physically, mentally, and spiritually, you are lovely, and for that you make me strive to be just like you. Next, you are gifted. We all each have our own talents and we all share them in different ways. You are smart. Never let anyone question your intelligence...even if it is me. I want you to remember this even when you are struggling with something. I want you to think about the talents you have. You are definitely the most talented at being my sister. One last thing, don't ever forget this one:you are protected. By having sisters, you have your own bodyguards. They may not be the biggest or meanest, but they will always be in your corner. So, to both of my sisters: I love you very much.

Now, to my little sister. I was living 9 years of my life and then you threw everything off. In saying that I have no idea what I would do without you now. You have taught me many things that you don't even realize. One of those things being that someone is always watching and looking up to you. I didn't realize some of the things I did or said until you came along. By the way, don't do everything I do... It might get you in some trouble... Another thing you taught me was patience. Now, this one I am still working on. I have gotten a little better but you be patient with me and I will try my best to do better. Little did I know at 9 years old I would have another life long best friend. I love you!

To my older sister, where do I start? Maybe the part where you dumped me on my head as a baby... I got it you didn't like the idea of me when we were little, but it's okay—all is forgiven. We have been through a lot already, and there is so much more life to live. To you, I need to say thank you. Thank you for being there for all the new challenges in life that you had already faced. Thank you for holding my hand when I cried. Thank you for being my best friend that I got to live with. I should probably also tell you sorry for telling on you a lot... Sorry about that. I guess you've gotten over it by now. I also need my clothes back... I love you.

P.S.

I'm the favorite kid. :)

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
