A Letter To All The Big Brothers That Have A Weird Relationship With Their Little Sister

Dear Big Bro,

Ok I know that you hate when I call you that, but hey, isn’t it a little sister’s duty to get on your last nerve every once in a while? I’ve been told on a few occasions that you weren’t exactly happy when Mom and Dad told you that you were getting a little sister and at first, I felt bitter hearing that. Then, they continued with saying that when you saw me, it seemed like your opinion changed and you were pretty happy to have me after all.

As the years went on, you and I bonded over a few things. We would go outside and I’d play goalie so that you could practice soccer or we would put our money together and buy new gaming systems which I ultimately, would only use one time. As the amazing little sister that I am, I would wash your soccer stuff in the sink if you needed it quickly, or make you a grilled cheese for a quarter (you owe me quite a few dollars in quarters by the way). Playing with you could get a little rough sometimes, but I appreciate that it taught me how to fight. Hopefully I’ll never have to use those skills for real.

You started hanging out at home less and less the older you became, but every once in a while you would have your friends over. I can remember a few mornings where I would come downstairs in my pajamas still half asleep and find you playing video games with a friend (now that was embarrassing!). I always knew that you loved me though because even if you weren’t always the nicest to me, when you saw someone treat me wrong, even your own friends, you’d set them straight real quick.

The older we got the less we hung out and then we got to a point where we didn’t even talk that much. However, I knew I could always count on you when I wanted to complain about school things. The benefit of us going to the same high school a few years apart was that all the teachers remembered you, and remembered that they liked you, which meant they liked me too. I could always talk about certain teachers with you and have a great conversation. When you graduated college I missed getting to go to your soccer games and watch you play. I don’t know if you know, but I really do love watching you play.

As far as big brothers go, I’d say you’re pretty good. We aren’t the closest, but I know that if I ever need something you’ll be right there for me. I just wanted to say thank you for teaching me how to hold my own, make a grilled cheese, wash clothes by hand, and to never be surprised by house guests. But most of all, thanks brother for being you.

Love your little sister

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!
