This Is What Sisters Are For
The Preppy All American

If you have a sister or are a sister, you know just how important the role is. There are many things a sister contributes and shares; a healthy bond with a sister is unbreakable. While there are ups and downs with sisters just like in any other relationship, there are also countless moments of excitement and joy that you wouldn’t trade for the world. And that is what sisters are for.

Sisters are there to listen when you need someone to lend their ear, but will also give you advice to go along with each of your problems. Sometimes the advice they give may not be exactly what you want to hear, yet many times getting an outside perspective, especially from a sister, is just what you need.

If you’re having a bad day, you can always count on a sister to lift your spirits. She will listen to your troubles and be overly sympathetic, but she won’t let you stay that way for very long. She will crack a joke, try her best to embarrass you, and have you laughing within minutes. A sister will make you forget your troubles and help you focus on the pleasures of life. And that is what sisters are for.

When you’re looking for someone to confide in, a sister is most likely your best option. A sister is someone you can tell your deepest, darkest secrets to and she will love you just the same, maybe even more, for trusting her with something so special. Sisters really are some of the best secret keepers, and take that job very seriously.

A sister is one of the greatest people to go on adventures with. Whether it is across town or across the country, a sister is a good choice for a traveling companion. You will always have someone to talk to, roll down the windows and jam to loud music with, and giggle at the crazy families on the road traveling in the same direction. She will keep you entertained with funny stories and make your brain feel like it’s going to explode with all of her questions. And that is what sisters are for.

When you have your eye on the cutie from math class, a sister should be one of the first people you tell. And if she isn’t, she will surely be one of the first to find out. Of course she will ask all kinds of lighthearted questions like their interests and hobbies, what kind of fashion sense they have, and their most attractive quality. But then she will ask more meaningful questions in an attempt to decide if this person really deserves your attention. She knows the kind of person you are looking for and will be sure that you stay true to your standards.

Having a sister is one of the greatest treasures, one you shouldn’t take for granted. There are so many wonderful things that flow from a relationship with a sister. They will laugh with you, cry with you, make fun of you, embarrass you, annoy you, and love you. And that is what sisters are for.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
