A Big Brother's Letter To His Little Sister

Although my sister is four years younger than me, I can always count on her to give me a hard dose of reality.

To my little sister,

Being a big brother is one of my best accomplishments.

Having a little sister is most likely one of the best things that's ever going to happen to me. Although she's four years younger than me, I have learned so much from her, and I don't think I would be the person I am today without her. For example, I have learned the right way to treat all women because I would hope that some lucky guy out there would treat my sister the same way. First, though, let me explain what it's like being a big brother to someone who is not only your family but also your friend.

Your needs come second.

My mom always told me how important it was for my other siblings and I to look out for each other. But, when it came to my little sister, we always made sure she was OK first. Being not only the youngest, but the only girl out of three boys, made her the princess she is today. She always get taken special care of because without her, I don't think my family would have nearly as much joy as we do today. She's the light in our family that is always shining because nothing gets her down. Of course, she has her days when she's struggling with things, but even then, she never fails to make everyone in my family smile.

She's my role model.

Even though she's four years younger than me, my sister has taught me so much about life. I have learned how to be patient with people, see other viewpoints, and I have definitely learned to be a good listener! I think the most important thing I've taken away from the bond I have with my sister is knowing I can't be as rough and harsh with all of the other women who may come and go in my life. I've always known that women have every capability of a man, but my sister reinforced the idea that women can literally do what any man can, and I find that truly inspirational.

So, Amihya, I would like to thank you one last time for being my best friend, the best little sister and a role model to your crazy, older brother. I hope you continue working hard for whatever you hope to achieve because I believe you will be extremely successful in whatever you choose to pursue in your life. I'm so glad we have the amazing bond that we have, and I wouldn't trade it for a thing in the world!

Thank you for being the best person in the world.

Love,

Your big brother

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.
