"Because I have brothers I will always have best friends"

Why Being An Only Girl Is A Blessing
Personal Image

When I was little I loved playing sports rather than playing with barbies. In particular I enjoyed playing tackle football on our front lawn and watching football games with the boys. I dd in fact have my girly phase but I never turned down the opportunity to play catch or play Madden on xbox. I was horrible at both but still enjoyed the smiles I shared with my brothers.

Growing up with all brothers meant I never had to worry about sharing a room, fighting over clothes or fighting over boys. The only clothes I ever shared were t-shirts with my brother when we were the same size. I loved wearing his sports shirts. I always had someone to fight with and someone to laugh with. No matter what my brothers were always my biggest supporters. They are always brutally honest with me when it comes to eating habits and outfit choices. I tend to get to mad at first but I know they do it out of love.

Most importantly growing up with all brothers mean’t having best friends. We grew up together and have almost all the same interests thats why we all click. We use to do everything together and now that we are all older we are not always together. It doesn’t matter because we all come back together at home when we can. Like they say home is where the heart is and I can’t express how much that is true.

Over the years I have watched several families lose a brother and I can’t ever imagine the feeling of losing one of mine. I never take my brothers for granted and I make sure to always spend time with them when I can. Having all brothers means I will always be protected and cared for. I love my brothers more than anything and I am so beyond blessed to call them my best friends.

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.
