Thank You, Little Sister

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.

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.
