  • A Letter to My Sister

    My sister just started college at Notre Dame last week.  I basically raised my two sisters, so naturally I’m a bit overprotective.  Along with alcohol education, rape prevention, and school advice, looks like she’ll be needing some boy guidance as well.  She’s inexperienced in that department, but being the adorable girl she is, she has a lot of guys chasing after her already.  I mean, college is one of those places that make it so easy to meet people, and many guys don’t have the best intentions.  I’ve been through all that.  So here is my advice to her. 

    I know my sister reads my Xanga, so she’ll definitely read this.  SO READ IT ALL, MICHELLE.
    1. Don’t date a guy who doesn’t have similar interests with you.  You’ll end up taking up all his interests trying to impress him.  The thing about good relationships is that it should be effortless.  Trying to impress your boyfriend or girlfriend means there’s something wrong there. 
    2. Don’t date anyone who you’re not absolutely comfortable with.  No, I’m not talking about being so comfortable that you guys fart in front of each other (but I mean, if that’s cool with you, then sure).  I mean the type of comfortable that you can talk to him about whatever comes to mind.  You should never be afraid that what you’re about to say might push him away or that you’re always walking on eggshells when you’re talking to him.  Communication should be open and free, otherwise, you’ll be too afraid to bring up problems in the relationship, and he’ll get away with treating you like shit. 
    3. Don’t date anyone who doesn’t have Facebook.  I understand some people deactivate their Facebook in times of need or fasts or to see if they can do without it, but from my experience, people who don’t have Facebook always have something to hide.  On top of that, if the guy doesn’t add you, but shows his interest in you, that definitely means he’s hiding something.  

    With all seriousness aside, when you have a bunch of guys chasing you, make them fight to the death Hunger Games style.  Or just follow my motto:
