An Open Letter to My Middle Brother

Sorry for falling asleep during all of those piano recitals

(Avicii) "Hey Brother", I'm going to keep this completely real, because you don't get enough recognition .

1. Thank you for showing up

For always taking/coming to my volleyball practices and games. You might not have always known what was going on. You got as much as winning the point, and honestly that was enough for me.

It was nice when we would win a point to see my family there to a great support staff.

2. Thank you for the constant support

Thank you for helping me with countless monologues while you were at home, and Facetime while you were away at college. Thank you for all of the positive attitude for all of the audition support.

3. Thank you for Christmas morning

You know I was always a late sleeper, so thank you for waking me up screaming, "IT'S CHRISTMAS". All of those hours of playing Super Mario Bros on the Wii for countless hours on end.


Most importantly, thank you for being there and for being my brother


Love

Kendall

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with. I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition."
