To My Dear Little Sister

A person who's been where you've been; someone you can call when things aren't going right; is more than just family; a sister is a forever friend.

To My Dear Little Sister,

We fight, argue, and tell each we can't stand each other but it's time to let you know how much you really do mean to me. First of all, I want you to know that I love you and I always will, no matter what we go through or the time or distance between us.

I am always so proud of you and everything you have done and will continue to do throughout your lifetime. I will ALWAYS be your biggest fan. No one will believe in you more than I do and through everything, this life could possibly throw at us that will never change. You're my little sister and I wouldn't trade you for the world.

I know life is hard and I wish I coud take away all of the problems that will ever come your way. But I can make you a few promises. I promise to always be there for you. I will be there when you need a high five or a shoulder to cry on. I'll be there to guide you and give you advice on whatever you may need. I'll be there to pick you up and dust you off EVERY TIME you fall down. I'll be there to encourage you when you think the world is crashing down around you. I'll be there to tell you that everything is going to be okay.

I would never tell you this in person but I miss you. I know it isn't always easy living so far away and our lives are so crazy. BUT, always know that I am just a text or a phone call away.

I've learned a few things through my days, and I hope you don't make the mistakes that I did. Just remember through life some people will like you others won't. People will talk bad about you and people you thought were friends won't stick up for you. But always love yourself. Never settle for less than you deserve. Always do your best to make a difference in the world. Shine your light wherever you go and never lose faith in yourself.

You've been with me for some of the hardest things in life and some of the greatest things in life. You've changed my life in so many ways. You've made my life so much better and sometimes so much more stressful. But I love you so much and always remember I'm just a phone call away.

Love,

Big Sister

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.
