Your Little Sister Needs You And You Need Her

Spending time with little sisters is so important.

Your Little Sister Needs You And You Need Her
Tiana Walker

You’ll always have someone who looks up to you, or at you because somehow both my little sisters have become either my exact height or taller. But anyways, they always want to know what's new with you in college.

So, of course you tell them stories. Stories about concerts, music festivals, and random encounters at school. It’s like you become that one Uncle who exaggerates all their adventures and becomes the hero in every story. You tell them only the “cool stuff” and leave out how you spend the majority of your time going to class or binge watching “Parks and Recreation” and “Grey's Anatomy.”

Why would your little sister want to hear about that anyway? She wants to hear about exciting things and all the things she can do when she escapes the grasps of your parents. Although she’ll soon learn she had it pretty good at home with mom and dad, and even though you’ve tried to warn her, she’ll just have to learn on her own.

Once she does she’ll tell you all about how you were right and that’s always a great moment. That is your purpose as an older sibling to give advice and to lend an ear when they need to vent about school or when mom and dad get a little to psycho. Then you two team up to convince them that they’re responsible enough (even though you have your doubts) to go wherever or get a new iPad.

Don’t neglect your little sister because she looks forward to you coming home. Even when she doesn’t seem excited-- she is. In fact, she’s been telling all her friends at school the whole week that her sister is coming home from college.

She needs you to make DIY projects with her, play video games, or take her shopping at the mall. When your vacation quickly comes to an end you, of course, realize that you are the one who really needs her. You need to know that you’re actually doing cool things when it truly feels like you’re doing absolutely nothing with your life. She motivates you to do your best, so that she knows she can do it too.

Although you may get in fights, she may drive you crazy, and she is definitely stealing your clothes, you appreciate every moment you can get with her. Because the good times far outweigh the bad. You know you can trust her to be brutally honest and tell you that, "No, those shoes do not look good with that dress." You love the late nights spent bundled on the couch watching Disney movies, or her showing you millions of vines you’ve never seen before all while eating chocolate chip cookies. You miss when times were simpler because you simply miss spending time with your little sister.

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.

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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
