What It Means To Be A Sister By Choice, Not By Blood

You may not be sisters biologically, but the bond you share is just as strong.

What It Means To Be A Sister By Choice, Not By Blood
Nicolle Majette

After only a semester and a half at college, I have met the most amazing people who I am so lucky to call my sisters. Although the time we've known each other is small, it feels as if we've known each other forever. Through thick and thin, we're always there for each other, helping each other out and being there whenever we need it. These girls truly are the sisters I've never had, and I'm so grateful for each and every one of them. From them, I have learned what it means to be a sister.

Sisters always are there for each other. No matter how busy we may be with school, work, etc. sisters always make time for each other. Even if its just a trip to the dining hall, making time for each other is so important.

Sisters are the best people to confide in, and you know you can trust them with anything. Having people who know your deepest secrets can be scary, however, you know that whatever is said within the group stays in the group.

Nothing is better than the group chat. The group chat is where it all goes down. Memes, jokes, spilling tea, boy talk, you name it. The group chat is the ultimate reflection of the friend group, and where everyone's true self comes out. Nothing is better than re-reading old messages in the group chat together and dying about all the memories.

You must be ready at any moment to take pictures. This might not be true with every friend group, but at least in mine, we love. taking. pictures. At any given moment, you must be ready to flick up. A true sister will be ready to have a photo shoot anywhere, and have her friends looking right.

You'll always have people to hang out with. No matter what, you will always have someone to go get food with, study, or go out with.

You may fight like actual sisters but will always make up. Nothing is worse than getting into a fight with your closest friends, but also nothing is better than the moment where you make up and everything is good again. Fighting is a part of every relationship, but it makes the bond you share stronger.

I am forever grateful for my friends that I've met at school. From our "sister sleepovers" to our crazy Friday night adventures, nothing makes me happier than spending time with the people who know me the best. Thank you for being my best friends, and my sisters.

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.
