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

Why Being An Only Girl Is A Blessing

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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
