6 Reasons Why I Am Thankful For My Little Sister

For many, sisterhood means having a friend who will be there for life, and who was there in its beginning. Siblings can share childhood memories with you that nobody else can connect to in quite that special way. Your sister may drive you crazy, or she may inspire you.

We may not be blood, but she's my sister. My little sister has been my rock, my shoulder to cry on, my go-to advice, my love and my pain. For years I never knew a love so strong could exist. I never knew that my little sister would be the reason for me growing up so soon or that I would become a "second opinion" in all she does in this lifetime. I never expected her to NEED me as much as she does.

If you have a little sister, just know she looks up to you and watches every move you make. Please know that once they grow up they aren't going to listen to the advice you give because they have learned from your mistakes, yet they still want to make the same mistakes themselves. All you can do is love them regardless and NEVER say "I told you so" when sometime turns out the way you expected it too.

1. She has been through it all with me

My little sister is my lifeline, literally. Without her, I don't know where I would be in this crazy world. Without her, I would be so far gone and so lost in this crazy life I've lived. She has been with me through every single heartbreak, every bad decision {I'm not proud of that at all} and every life-changing decision I've ever made. She has lived life through me at times, and for that, I will forever be thankful. At age 18, she doesn't have the desire to do the things I did at 18. She doesn't run wild, she doesn't flip-flop through boyfriends, she doesn't live on the edge. She's content, and I am so proud of the person she has become.

2. She accepts me for who I've been, who I am, and who I have yet to become

She has loved me through it all, and never once given up on me. Through all my mistakes, she was the one person to love me without ever giving up on me and leaving me completely. She has never judged me silently, she is a very opinionated little girl. She has never made me feel alone. She has never let me go through any obstacles in life, alone. After all the hell I've put her through, she still loves me to no end and for that, I am extremely thankful.

3. She is my "Come to Jesus Meeting" QUEEN

Anytime I have strayed away from my morals, or anything important in life, she has always been the one to stop me in my tracks and tell me to "Slow down, and think a little". I may not listen the first, second, third, or even the fourth time but eventually, I will.

4. We have never been able to stay mad at each other

For the sake of both our lives, we need each other. No matter how bad we piss each other off, we always come to the realization that life would not be even remotely close to fun without the other. She has always been the one to say whats on her mind, and I do the same. Sometimes we don't like what the other has to say, but it always comes from the heart.

5. We can talk about ANYTHING, and I mean A N Y T H I N G


From boy problems to female problems, we have talked about it all. Boyfriends, best friends, school, sports, events, PERIODS, anything and everything. No matter what, we always give our best advice to one another and we move on.

6. She still lets my 22-year-old self live through her


If I've ever needed someone to just hang out with, she has been my go-to. I live out my missed high school experiences through her, and she seems to not care one single bit. I've never cheered for anyone 12-18 hours out of a day, but I do for her. I've never spent an entire paycheck in two days, but I have just to support her. She has let me be apart of all school and sporting events for the past 5 years with no complaining, even when I tell her to change her stance when she is at the plate with a 3.2 count (LOL). She has ALWAYS thanked me for being her supporter and her biggest critique.


Without her, I wouldn't be who I am today. Without her, I wouldn't love like I do today, Without her, I wouldn't be happy and content with my everyday life. WITHOUT HER, I WOULD BE LOST.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
