"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.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
