21 Things You Know To Be True If You Have Older Brothers

I am the youngest of three older brothers. While I love having three older brothers, it can be crazy at times.

1. You are the butt of the jokes

2. You are always trying prove them wrong.

3. You're afraid to talk to them about boys and avoid the subject because they are over-protective

4. You'll think some of their friends are hot

5. You were dragged to all their football, basketball, or lacrosse games no matter the weather

6. You are always being compared by teachers to your brothers even though you are nothing alike

7. Your mother's worst fear is that you will marry one of your brother's crazy friends

8. You will know A LOT about how douchey guys can be

9. Their best-friends will feel like brothers and an addition to your family

10. They will hold onto something dumb you said when you were five and make fun of you for it for the rest of your life

11. You received hand-me-downs from their girlfriends

(I actually loved hand-me-downs from girlfriends because they had better and more expensive clothes than me.)

12. You will hear hilarious bar stories

13. You are accustomed to seeing guys in their boxers

14. They will always see you as their little innocent sister

15. You found 4/20 related items in their rooms

16. They or their friends have offered to beat up any guy that does you wrong

17. If they dropped you at school, they blasted their crazy rap music and you thought you were cool

18 .When they finally move out and get their own place, its fun to crash at their place and raid the drinks

19. You know all the rules to the sports your brothers played

20. You received hand-me-downs from your brothers even though they were for the opposite gender

21. People will tell you your brothers are hot and it's just awkward

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.
