Why My Sister Is My Best Friend
Jaime Rodden

From the moment I found out I was going to have a baby sister when I was 4 years old, my life changed for the better. A sister is more than just a sibling or relative. A sister is someone who will understand and relate to you in a way no one else can. Although I have had my ups and downs with my sister—as I'm sure all siblings do—I can honestly say we always find a way to forgive and be there for each other. To all the sisters out there, here are a few things I'm sure we can all relate to.

She Knows Exactly How To Put A Smile On My Face

Somehow, no matter how hard I try to hide my anger or sadness at times, my sister can always sense my mood and find a way to cheer me up. Whether its making me some of my favorite food, suggesting a movie night, or simply making a funny joke she knows only I'll understand, she can always find a way to put a smile on my face.

She's Always Down For Random Dance Parties

Whether we're home alone bored, driving in the car, or simply hanging out listening to some music in the living room, it always turns into some sort of dance party. And of course early 2000s throwbacks are included. Yes, dance parties alone are fun, but with a sister they are at least 10 times more entertaining. No matter what my mood or how the day has gone prior to our dance party, dancing and singing at the top of my lungs with my sister always puts me in a happy mood. After these nights I'm left feeling lucky to have someone I can be my complete self around.

We've Been Through A Lot Together

Through the good and the bad, I've always had my sister by my side. From a young age, my family has been through some tough times and having my sister there with me through it all, each of us knowing exactly what the other is going through, has made hard situations immensely better. When I felt as though there was no one else I could talk to, my sister was always there to help comfort me and remind me that she understands.

The Jokes Only We Understand

Ever since I can remember, growing up with my sister has been an endless supply of inside jokes. No matter how many years go by, we still have some fond childhood memories and jokes we have carried on through the years. I love having something only my sister and I understand and can laugh about, and it brings us that much closer as sisters and friends.

She Asks Me For Advice

Having a little sister is a great way to pass on your knowledge both from your accomplishments and your mistakes. High school is a rough time for everyone and I'm so glad I have been able to help my sister steer clear of mistakes I made. And of course, when she does make mistakes, I'll always be there as a shoulder to cry on and to help remind her that high school problems will pass with time and no one will remember it in a year to come.

She's My Best Friend

I feel so lucky to have such an incredible person in my life, and although she is younger than me, I still look up to her as a role model. She has inspired me in so many ways and has always found a way to surprise me in what she can accomplish. Not only is my little sister someone I can tease and advise, but I know I can always count on her no matter what the situation, and thats something I will cherish forever.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
