Because I have a brother, I'll always have a friend.

To My Brothers, From Your Sister In College
Andrea Bowers

To my dearest brothers,

First of all, I'd like to tell you both thank you for being the way you are. Thank you for loving me and putting up with me. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for aggravating me. Thank you for the millions of questions that drive me crazy. I couldn't imagine either of you any other way.

I'm sorry that I can't make it to every game, awards ceremony, and class party. I really try to, but being at college doesn't always allow me to be there.

I want you both to know I miss you dearly. While I love being in college, I miss being in the room right beside yours. I miss being able to talk to you in person when something is going on.

I know we fuss and fight when I'm home, but it wouldn't be home if we didn't. I'm thankful for winter breaks, summer breaks and weekends we get to spend together. They mean a lot to me, whether you two know it or not.

I'm thankful that I can tell you anything. I'm thankful that you listen, no matter how uninteresting my problems seem to you. I'm thankful that you're there for me when no one else is. I'm thankful that I can trust you.

You two may be younger than me, but you've taught me a lot. You've taught me what it means to be a friend and a sister. You've taught me how to take care of someone, because we all know how much I love to be bossy. You've taught me how I should be treated by others. You've also taught me everything I know about football.

I've always treasured you two, even though I don't always act like it. I was so excited to have two brothers. It never bothered me that I ended up with brothers and no sisters. I've loved watching you two grow and learn. I love doing what I can to try to help you. I miss not being there so much while I'm at school.

Just because I'm not there with you doesn't mean I don't think about you. It doesn't mean I wouldn't do anything I could to help you. I love both of you very much and I'll always be here. If you ever need me, I'm only one phone call away.

Once again, thank you for being there. Thank you for supporting me and putting up with me. Thank you for listening. Thank you for being the way you two are. Most of all, thank you for loving me so much.

Love,

Your Sister in College

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
