Yes, my best friend is 10 years younger than me...

Thank You, Little Sister

Thank you, little sister, for...

...making me smile when my day isn’t going as planned.

Maybe I got a bad grade on my test, or I forgot about homework that was due. No matter what, you make sure I know how to keep smiling even when I'm down.

...showing me not to stress about the little things in life.

You show me there is so much fun to be had in life and great things to look forward to. There is simply no need to stress so much. Plus, there is nothing a spontaneous dance-it-out session can’t cure.


...keeping me youthful.

Showing me that you don’t have to be young to use your imagination and make-believe. This has helped me grow more as a person than you will ever know.


...being my One Direction concert buddy.

Many people think you need to be young to like One Direction. We both know that is a lie. The night of July 26, 2015, was the best night of my life with you by my side. Plus we had a nice view of Harry Styles to look at as well.


...showing me how to be myself. Be brave and bold.

I am so thankful for your craziness. Without it, I would not be able to show that I am just as crazy as you. You stick with your gut and act as YOU want. This is important because many people will try to change you, but DO NOT change. You are perfect the way you are, and you have taught me that same lesson.

...letting me tell people I was forced to watch Disney sing-alongs, even though I was the one who instigated it.

I admit, I may not like to let out the secret that I love Disney movies and Disney sing-along, but I will ALWAYS take an invite to come over and watch one.

...seeing me cry and being the first to comfort me.

I know whenever I am sad, you will be the first one to make sure I am okay. This is my favorite thing about you. Your hugs can cure any kind of sadness. You have the kindest heart and I am forever thankful for that.

...testing my patience.

You are one of the sassiest people I have ever met. I love you for that. You push my buttons 80% of the time, but no matter what, we stick together.

...taking the most ridiculous Snapchats with me.

I may be a little Snapchat-obsessed and you roll with it. You join me in my hilarious triumph of trying to make the funniest faces possible.

...being my best friend.

I would never want a best friend other than my 9-year-old sister.


Carly, I love you to the moon and back.

mistake
Project Eve

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

You're gonna make it after all.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
