10 Reasons I'm Thankful I grew Up With Older Sisters

Having a couple of big sis' is a huge a blessing that has made my life incredible.

1. They give the best advice.

There are things that you can't always go to your parents or even your friend for I can always count on them. They are older and wiser so I know I can always trust them to give me advice that will only help benefit me, even though I don't always want to take it.

2. They are the only ones who will keep your deepest darkest secrets.

I know that no matter what they would never spill the beans. We are sworn to secrecy under the sacred oath of sisterhood.

3. I learned from their mistakes.

When I was younger and they would get into trouble I learned not to make the same mistake and when they each made a different mistake I got to learn from them both at once.

4. Mom and dad became less strict with me, so thank you for that.

As I became older that started to care less and less about what I do and I know that it makes them mad, but thank you because I get to do more things because of it. I got to get away with things that they never would have

5. They see you at your worst and still never judge you.

I don't always have it together, and on the days that I don't they don't ever judge me for it, they help me get through it.

6. They're your sisters and best friend.

You get two for one. I love my best friends, but having my sisters also be my best friends is the best. I have my sister telling me that I need to hit the gym and I have my best friends to tell them that I look beautiful even though I probably don't.

7. They will always tell you the truth.

I don't always want to hear it, but they will tell me when me outfit is ugly that day, when I look a hot mess, or if they think I'm in the wrong and need to fix it.

8. They never fought with me for longer than an hour.

They could never stay mad at my cute face, we would be slamming doors in each others faces and then an hour later we were hanging out laughing again. Its easy to stay mad at your friends, but we could never go a whole day being mad at each other.

9. I can complain to them and they will never get sick of it.

Okay, they might get sick of it sometimes, but they would never turn me away, they always listen to my problems big or small.

10. They will always be there for me.

No matter what I can always count on them for anything and everything. I know that they will always be there for me when no one else will.

Thank you for being born before me so that I can learn and grow from you, so that I always have two wise souls who can help me in life to be better, and for being the best sisters a younger sister could ever ask for.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
