To My Twin

A quick note to my sorority twin

Personal Photo

You walked in at the end of our meeting, holding a sign up that read, "Will you be the big to my Carrie?" and I started crying.

It's been a while since I've been that excited. My big, all choked up herself, scurried from her seat to hug you. I couldn't believe my family just got a little bigger. Although both my big and I were NOT photo ready, we posed for photo after photo

and then subsequently posted them all of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter…everywhere. I NEEDED to tell the world about you.

People all over are expecting me to be jealous since I have to share my big and all, but that's not the case. There's no envy, no competition, no odd sibling rivalry. I know that there'll be some pictures I won't be in and conversations I won't be around for, but your relationship with our big does not define my relationship with her and it certainly doesn't diminish it at all. In fact, it makes her and me stronger because we get to introduce you to our sorority together as a team. I am SO HAPPY you're here. I can't wait to get to know you and show you what sisterhood really means.

It won't always be easy because, like any family, we have our ups and downs. We'll have screaming matches and passive aggressive conversations. But we'll always end up okay no matter what because we're family.

Some days we'll have to drag each other out of bed in the morning to get to class or in the evening to get to meeting. I'll always have your back, and I know you'll always have my back through thick and thin. You're strong and incredible and I'm glad you're here. Together, we can scare away demons, monsters, and stupid boys.

Welcome home, Twinnie.

Love,

Frizzle

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
