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

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
