10 Reasons Why Having a Brother Is The Best
Natasha Trivedi

Having a brother is a huge blessing. If you're lucky enough to have one, here are some things you can relate to.

1. You always have each other’s backs.


If anyone ever tried to hurt him, you would never, ever let them get away with it. And you have no doubt that he’d do the same for you.

2. You act like you don’t like each other, but deep down there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for him.

All siblings fight, and you and your brothers' are no exception. However, that’s pretty much all meaningless. Even if you argue about everything, you know that you will support each other through thick and thin.

3. He’s the best person to go to for advice.

Even if it is for something irrelevant and dumb. Your brother will always know what to say to help you feel better.

4. You keep each other’s secrets.

They are the one person who you can tell anything and everything to. And no matter what happens, they will never sell you out, and you know that without a doubt you'd do the same for them.

5. They’re protective over you.


Like I said before, nobody would get away with hurting him without going through you, and vice versa. Even if they are a little overbearing sometimes, you know that they love you, always mean well and want the best for you.

6. They love you unconditionally.

You could fight every day, and you can argue over stupid stuff like who ate the last brownie as much as you want. Even with all these "difficulties and complications", the love you have for each other is unbreakable.


7. You know everything about each other.

Saying that you get each other is an understatement. Really, you know each other so well that it's absolutely terrifying and amazing at the same time. Sometimes, you get surprised by how much you know about each other.

8. They will always be there for you.


If you need a friend, a laugh, some advice, or even just a hug, he will be there.

9. You can always count on them to make you laugh.

Honestly, it could be the dumbest joke ever and he will still have you cracking up. The best remedy for anything is laughing, and the best source of laughter will always be your brother if you're lucky enough to have one.

10. He’s your best friend.


Your other half, your rock, and the best gift the universe could have ever given you. How did you get so lucky?

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?
