An Open Letter To My Unbiological Sister

Maura Keays

I was pretty content with having one sister that was already three years older than me, but something pretty amazing happened that most sibilings wouldn't be able to say it happened to them. Having my only sibiling going off to college I didn't know what to do with myself or thought her roomatte would get along with me, but I was wrong. Three years ago I was blessed to gain not only a friend but a second sister so I want to say thank you.

Thank you for telling me how it is

Growing up with an older sister I was always told when I did something wrong or overreacted. With you I get told the honest truth without anyone sugar coating it to spare my feelings. You seem to call me on my flaws, but help me fix them at the same time. Without you I wouldn't have anyone to tell me that my impulsive decisions were stupid.

Thank you for never leaving my side

No one told you that being roommates with my sister would include having another little sister. You're always there when I need someone the most and I know I can count on you for being there through my tears, laughs, stupid moments, and my most proudest moments. From the day we met three years ago to now being on the same campus as you, nothing has changed. I can still text or call you whenever I need someone and I know you'll try your best to support me through the day.

Thank you for understanding me

You're someone who knows me better then I know myself. You usually can tell if something is bothering me or if I'm not okay. Because of this you go out of your way to turn my day into a good one.

Thank you for loving me

You didn't have to call me your sister three years ago but now I find myself telling people that I have two older sisters that would do anything for me. I couldn't be anymore thankful for you being in my life and accepting me for me. You're truly someone special in my life and I get so excited telling people that I go to school with my two older sisters. Thank you for holding my hand through the rough times and laughing at me through my stupid moments. I don't know what I'd do without you in my life! Thank you for your never ending love and becoming my 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.
