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.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
