11 Reasons To Thank My Brother

Since it was national sibling day, I'm feeling a rare period of affection for my little brother. No matter how much he annoys me, I'll always be grateful for him being in my life. There are a few things I'd like to thank him for.

1. Thanks for always sharing your food with me or even remembering to save some for me when I’m not there.

2. Thanks for always hiding behind random doors and inside rooms in our house to try to scare me. It always keeps me on my toes.

3. Thanks for always making dumb jokes that make mine look better in comparison.

4. Thanks for looking for food samples with me when we’re at Costco.

5. Thanks for letting me bother you and your friends whenever I’m home, even though I’m sure I end up embarrassing you.

6. Thanks for posing for pictures with me after much coercion, even though you hate it.

7. Thanks for watching children’s cartoons with me, even though we’re way too old for them.

8. Thanks for letting me help you with your homework, even when I'm annoying about it.

9. Thanks for getting into fights with me when we were younger. I would get so angry at you, but I’ve learned to deal with difficult people.


10. Thanks for teaching me how to be responsible for another person.

11. Thanks for caring, even when you like to pretend you don’t.

I may not act always act like it, but I do love my brother deep down. Appreciate your siblings because you're basically stuck together at this point!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
