10 Reasons Why Older Brothers Are The Best

A big thank you goes out to all those older brothers out there who put up with their younger siblings on a daily basis. You guys are the best, and we thank you for all you do for us.

1.They always have your back

If anyone ever hurts me or breaks my heart, my brothers are the first ones called because I know they will always protect me and be there for me.

2.They double as a friend


Yes, they are my big brothers but they also double as an amazing friend because no matter how much you fight, your brothers will always be your friend.

3.They correct you when you are wrong

I can always count on them to correct me when I’m wrong, and then to never let me live it down. lol

4.They made growing up fun…sometimes painful

Without my brothers growing up would not have been as fun as it was. Yes, we would all fight, scream, and cry sometimes but when we weren’t fighting we were making some amazing memories and those are the times I will never forget.

5.They tell it like it is

No matter what I can always count on my brothers being honest with me. Whether it’s them making fun of what I’m wearing, or telling me I’m stupid for chasing a boy they know is bad for me. I may not always like what they have to say, but at least I know it’s the truth.

6.They put up with your nonsense

It's not easy having a little sister. We're annoying, needy and well, a little sister. Through all of our bratty and crazy stages, brothers still do all that they can for us. From driving us around, and getting us out of trouble, older brothers are the absolute best. They have shaped us into who we are today, and even though it was tough being ignored or teased, we wouldn't trade them in for the world.

7.They are always your biggest fans

Thank you for sitting through all my long days of cheerleading competitions or softball tournaments. I know they were hot, and long so they weren’t always fun. But I want you to know that it made me so happy when I would look in the stands and I see my brothers there. So thank you!

8.They know you better than anyone else

They have been in my life since I was born, so sometimes I think they know me better than I know myself. lol

9.They taught me how to defend myself

Growing up with brothers, made me learn how to defend myself. Yes, I may act like a princess sometimes but believe me I can put someone in a headlock and have their hands behind their back quicker than you could yell help! Lol

10.They will always love you

But no matter how needy of a little sister I’ve been, or how much we fight I know they will always love me and I will always love them.

A big thank you to my two big brothers for being the best siblings I could ask for. I love you both so much!


Love,

your little sister.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
