To All The Sisters

A little sister time is good for the soul.

To All The Sisters
Cass Johnson

This is to all the sisters

"Side by side, or miles apart, sisters will always be connected at heart"

One of the first memories I have of my sister and I is when we were little we would always sneak into each other's room late at night and play the "name game" or "grocery store" for hours or watch movies on the little portable DVD player we had. We would always get so tickled at each other when mom or dad walked by.

If I could go back to one of those nights I would in a heart beat.

We had that middle school phase where I had my friends and you had your friends. Then high school hit. Most teachers thought we were twins because of how much we were together. We were inseparable.

Senior year I knew the day I moved out would come, but that's the last thing we talked about or even thought about.

I just want to thank my sister for all the laughs, cries, and memories we have had together.

So to my sister..

1. Thank you for the endless laughs.

I promise nothing is better than those laughs were you cannot even breathe and you're literally on the verge of peeing your pants (and sometimes you do).

2. Thank you for always telling me what I need to hear and not what I want to hear.

Your sister is always going to be honest with you because she really does not care if you get mad or not. You cannot promise that they'll fix the problem, but you can promise that they will not have to face it alone.

3. Thank you for always eating cereal with me.

It might be midnight or later, but it is never a bad time for cereal. (Some nights you won't have milk and so you'll wake your parents up at 1 a.m. and you all will take a family road trip because whose parents just lets them leave at that time of night?)

4. Thank you for taking my side 99 percent of the time.

I know we have our differences, but when it comes to a guy thanks for always taking my side and making me feel a little less crazy.

5. Thank you for always having my back.

If it ever came down to it, you would definitely be the first person I would call if I got in a fight.

6. Thank you for always wanting to stay and watch Netflix with me on a rainy day (so I don't feel as bad about myself).

Sad movie or action movie, we will probably have tears by the end of it anyways.

7. Thank you for the car jams.

Car jams can range from anywhere to Miley Cyrus, Dixie Chicks, Usher, or even Elvis. Doesn't matter because we will sing every song like it is nothing.

8. Thank you for the endless sleepovers.

I don't care if you are 8 or 18, sleepovers are a must. Late night talks, 2 a.m. giggles, 2 a.m. Netflix binge watching, it is good for you. I promise.

9. Thank you for being my best friend.

I honestly cannot express how much our relationship means to me. You are my person.

God truly blessed your life if he gave you a sister.

There's really nobody quite like her.

No words can describe the relationship my sister and I have. Going off to college just made me appreciate our relationship even more than I ever did.

So to the sisters.

Have fun together and hold onto the memories and enjoy the moment because one day you will miss going to school together every day, or walking across the hall to talk.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
