College By: Zachary Merold

This month's blog post needed to be about family, and one thing that has recently been on my mind is about my older sister, Zoe, who is going to college in a few months. Personally, I think Zoe will be fine in college, and will probably be able to get into the school she wants to, as she is Top 10 and always gets a pretty high GPA. While I am definitely happy for her, as college is a big step in life and she is going to experience a multitude of new things, I have mixed feelings about this because there is going to be an entire human presence missing from the Merold household almost all the time. Once Zoe heads off for college, our house will just be me, my younger sister (who is a pain), my mom, and my dad (who spends a lot of time at work). If Zoe were to read this, she would probably claim that I won't even realize she is gone considering I spend most of my time on my computer anyway. While the second part of this statement is true, the reason I would miss Zoe is because of all the little things that we do as siblings, like taking the bus home together and having little conversations, or sharing a funny Instagram post that we found with one another. While I am definitely hoping that Zoe has the time of her life at college, I also know that I am definitely going to miss her a lot. Below is one of the  pictures I have of some members of the Merold family going bowling, our family tradition.
