An Open Letter to My Siblings

From a big sister that can't always be around anymore

Meghan Dube

Garden City, New York

To my three beautiful younger siblings,

I’m a freshman in college now, and I can’t see you guys everyday anymore. And quite frankly, that was one of the hardest adjustments when I initially went to school. And now that I’ve been home from winter break, I’ve come to realize exactly how much I’ve been missing.

This past month I’ve had the chance to be there when you guys get home from school everyday. I’ve had a vote in family movie night. I’ve had you guys burst into my room unannounced, which secretly I’ve always enjoyed anyway. And watching you guys seek my company when I’m home has been really special.

But it’s time for me to go back to school. And that means I have to leave you guys all over and again, and once again adjust to not seeing your faces everyday. And it stinks, because I won’t be around when you get that test back, or when you’re deciding what movie to watch that night. I won’t be there all the time to witness every step of you guys growing up.

But know that I am so proud of what you achieve while I’m gone. And know that I talk about you guys all the time at school (and in a mostly positive light, believe it or not). Know I’m always thinking about you.

But most importantly, know that I consider being your big sister the most important role in my life. I put you guys above all else. Even if we fight, my love for you guys will never stop. And every decision I make, I make knowing that I will be setting an example for you all. And being a good role model for you three is a job I do not take lightly. I know I’m setting a foundation for you all. Know that I love you, even if I don’t like you all the time.

Sincerely,

An overly sentimental big sister

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
