A Letter To My Little Brother

No matter how tall you get, you will always be my little brother.

Hey Little Bro!

I just want to take the time to remind you of how much I love you. You are the greatest blessing in my life and I am so thankful that God gave me an awesome brother like you!

I admire your generous spirit and how you are always wanting and willing to go out of your way to help others. Your selflessness and humbleness is so inspiring. You have a servant’s heart and are so kind and loving towards everyone you encounter.

Remember 1 Corinthians 10:31,“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.” There will be times when people don’t show you gratitude for your kind actions; don’t let that dishearten you. Continue to do the right thing even when no one is watching and glorify God in everything you do.

I love how you are so hardworking. You study hard and you are diligent in your school work and everything else you set your mind to. I’m so proud of you and all that you have accomplished. I know you will continue to do great things.

Remember Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Never get discouraged or doubt your abilities. God has great plans for you and will use you to strengthen His kingdom.

I am thankful for you and your silliness; you know how make me smile and laugh through the good times and the bad. You are always there for me when I need someone to talk to. You are my very best friend.

Now that I’m in college, I really miss seeing you every day. I miss the little things like getting to talk to you in the car on the way home from school and our random Starbucks and Sonic runs we would go on. I miss you reminding me every single day that you’re taller than me. (but that’s okay because you never forget to remind me when I come home for a visit….and it seems like you're another inch taller each time!)

Please remember that I am always here for you. If you ever need help with anything; homework, girl advice (haha), or you just want to chat—I’m only a phone call and a Facetime away.

Joshua 1:9 says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” This is the advice I want to give you; be strong, be courageous, and be fearless. God is with you always; live your life for Him.

I am so proud of you. I can’t wait to watch you continue to grow up and become the man who God created you to be. Always remember, no matter how tall you get, you will always be my little brother. I love you with all of my heart!

Love,

Your Sister

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
