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

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
