15 Signs You Grew Up With Only Brothers

You were always the one mom trusted, because regardless of how much older your brothers may have been, they still were about as responsible as an 8 year old.

15 Signs You Grew Up With Only Brothers

1. You have less than any understanding on how to do makeup.

The first time I ever wore makeup my brother said to me, "What is that black stuff all over your eyes." And from then on I decided I would stick to the extreme basics because I had no idea what I was doing.


6. You never got to eat your leftovers

In my house, if the leftovers were not in a tupperware with a very threatening and aggressive message on it, they were fair game for whoever found them.


7. You may consider yourself girly, but you will always be a tomboy at heart.

You may wear dresses and skirts and heels, but lets be honest, there is nothing like some sweatpants and a sweatshirt (that you may or may not have stole from your brothers).


8. Sometimes you wish you had a sister but then you remember real quick how grateful you are to be the only girl.

Certain instances lead you to maybe wish you only had sisters, but then you realize that with all girls comes a lot more fighting, crying, etc.


9. You understand the male species a little bit more.


10. You are the brutally honest friend.

Your brothers never sugar coated anything they said to you, no matter how blunt it was. So, neither do you.


11. You are the responsible one.

You were always the one mom trusted, because regardless of how much older your brothers may have been, they still were about as responsible as an 8 year old.


12. You developed thicker skin.

You and you brothers called each other every mean/rude thing under the sun. So anything said to you by somebody else didn't phase you.


13. Someone always had your back.

The only people that could be mean to you and get away with it was one of them. Anyone else had to answer to them.


14. You know exactly who to call if you need anything

No matter where they are or what they may be doing, you can always call one of you brothers to help you with anything or to come pick you up.


15. You will always have a love-hate relationship with your brothers, but the love will always outweigh the hate.

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.
