A Thank You To My Brother From Another Mother

You're the guy that all of my boyfriends will always have to meet and deal with that fact that my best friend is a guy.

A Thank You To My Brother From Another Mother
Taylor Milano

Dear Best Friend,

Thank you for being the greatest guy in the whole world. You are the one that I always come to for advice to get that "guy perspective" and you are always honest with me, no matter how upset it may make me in that moment. I know that you just want what's best for me.

Thank you for always being a shoulder to cry on. You know exactly what to do and say when I'm feeling anything but happy. You get me. You get me in a way that none of my girlfriends will ever get. We have a different bond, a special bond, that I am so unbelievably grateful for and will never let go of.

You're the guy that all of my boyfriends will always have to meet and deal with that fact that my best friend is a guy. The same goes for me with your girlfriends. They all better get used to me being a constant because I'm not going anywhere, no matter how jealous some of them may be. Don't worry, I'll always put them in their place, and I know you'll do the same for my boyfriends.

I know I can drive you crazy. I know I tend to come to you with the same problems and same situations, just with different players. I know that you'll tell me the same thing every time, but the truth is, I just need to always hear your words of wisdom and encouragement. It could be a simple "you deserve better," and it could speak volumes to me. Those three words coming from you mean the world to me because I know it's genuine.

That being said, thank you for being by my side since the day you were born. Being your best friend since birth has some responsibility to come with it, and I'm so glad that you're the one the universe paired me with. You bring nothing but light and positivity into my life, even when I feel like I am at my darkest, I always have you.

I am extremely blessed to have you as a best friend. I don't get to see you as much as I would like, but you are always there for me no matter the distance. Thank you for always being there for late night FaceTime calls when I'm having a mental breakdown, and for always being there to make me laugh. I seriously don't know how I got so lucky with you.

Thank you for being not just a best friend to me, but a brother. I can trust you with anything and everything. You deal with me, and that's enough for you to deserve an entire article dedicated to you. Thanks for being awesome, and for being you.


Love always,

Your Best Friend

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.
