An Open Letter To My Broken Hearted Little Sister

Brooke Cox

Dear darling little sister,

You were so annoying. You followed me around, copied me, and told on me for no reason. Yeah, I probably pinched you; but, you deserved that one. Let me ask you this, when did I fall madly in love with you? Now I hear that you are going through your first heartbreak.

I might be a few years older than you, but I remember the pain of a heartbreak like it was yesterday. Maybe only because I am heartbroken for you. This sucks, doesn’t it? This is feeling that you feel, this horrible, terrible, no good, very bad empty pit in your heart, I know it isn't easy. At this point, nothing will heal it right away. Nothing but time heals the wounds. Someday, you, my broken hearted baby sister, will meet the most amazing love of your life. This pain is something that you will be so proud to have. I sound crazy, right? I promise you that this pain will be rewarded by a new relationship. A relationship that is 100 times better than this past experience.

Momma always said it and I’m going to say it too, “This too shall pass”. I know, you’re questioning me, asking if it really does. Looking at my friends now, four years later, as we all miserably do homework, sharing inside jokes and many laughs. . . it does. This heartbreak creates this new and improved you. At this point, this new and improved you will be unstoppable.

Speaking of mom, does she hold this family together or what? If she can keep it together during this traumatic time of watching her daughter's heart being broken, that's strength. There is the number one proof right there that you’ll be fine. Sister, you got me and this whole family to lean on. This family loves you, baby sister. Don’t forget that.

If there is a tear rolling down your cheek as you read this, I suggest you wipe that right now. Go look in the mirror. You see her? You see that beautiful girl? (If you’re shaking your head ‘no’, I’ll pinch you, just like when we were younger.). That girl is who the rest of the world sees. Hang in there and wait for tomorrow. It may be cloudy, but the sun will still rise.

Truly, I’m writing this letter because I am probably not smart enough to get away with killing him.

From,

Your big sister that cares about you so much.

"He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds." -Psalm 147:3

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

17 Times "Friends" Accurately Described Life

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
