What It's Like To Be An Older Sister

Happiness is having brothers & sisters

What It's Like To Be An Older Sister

Maybe you know, maybe you don't. You may be the oldest, you may be in the middle. If you have younger siblings, this is for you.

I am the oldest of many siblings, but I won't go into details of my crazy family. What is it like to be the oldest?

It's being a lifetime role model for all of your younger siblings. You are set to high standards, more is expected of you than your younger siblings, and sometimes it gets to be stressful.

Throughout my life, I never really appreciated having so many siblings. Now that I'm 20 years old, I don't have to see them all, every minute of every day, I enjoy them much more.

My most favorite thing about them is that you truly don't know how much they look up to you and watch you. The other day I was on the phone with my one of my sisters and she asked, "how was your workout today?"

SERIOUSLY!?

To me, it is awesome how much they watch and know about the healthy changes I have made in my life over the past two years.

Another one of my sisters started college this year, also and has asked me to help her to start living a healthier lifestyle. She made a cute little post on Instagram that said," I couldn't have asked for a better sister. I want to thank you for being an inspiration. Seeing you change for the better has made me extremely happy to do the same. Thank you for believing in me, you don't know how much I appreciate it #bestsister"

If you wanna talk about an overload of happiness, here's mine.

Siblings are great and I have some of the greatest.

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.
