A Letter To My Younger Siblings, You're Missed By Many

Dear twins,

I don't know what exactly happened to you both, but I hope somewhere and somehow you have found peace. I write this to you to say that I love you. Although I was never able to fully meet you, there's a feeling I have that tells me you would be the most extraordinary people.

I wish that we could have met and I could've spoiled you both but life is difficult in that way.

Your mom is doing well and keeping busy. I'm positive she would love to see you both at home while your sister and I are away at school. You both would have been amazed at the strength she has and how she stays positive no matter what occurs. You would've been the luckiest twins to have her for a mother, as I know I am.

I know you both would have gotten a hard work ethic from your father and would never have given up on anything. He would have taught you courage and strength just as he has taught me. Although he can be tough at times and hard to agree with, he's the most caring man I've ever met.

Also, your sister would've loved to meet you both. As she has molded me into the person I am today, she sure would've done the same for you. She's an incredibly strong individual and would've protected you from any high school bullies and comfort you at your worst days as a young teen exploring the world.

I wish I could see you grow up and be by your side through it all. I wish I could've been there to help you through the difficulties of high school and finding out what your passions are. It would've been incredible to look to you both for inspiration to stay young and innocent.

I wish you could've felt the warmth of a Christmas fire or the grass on your feet in the summer. I wish you could've fallen in love and met someone to make you the happiest person in the world. Your intelligence would've shocked many, go to college and amaze everyone.

But, I also wish you could've experienced heartbreak and loss to help you become stronger and more understanding people. I would like to say that life is amazing and easy, but that would be a complete lie. Although there are things that would have knocked you down, it's not fair that you cannot experience getting back on your feet and succeeding greatly.

You both would've brought something incredibly special to this world that's now missing, unfortunately. Like I said, life is difficult in that way.

More simple than all of this, I wish you could've found yourself in this world. I believe that somewhere out there you're looking down on me and wishing for the best as I would've wished for you. Again, I love you both and someday I hope we can finally meet.

Sincerely,

Your older sister

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
