Dear Little Brother, What I Want You To Know

Dear Little Brother,

We argue, we tease each other and we call each other names. We often drive each other (and mom) crazy. But that’s what siblings are for, right?

Our six-year age difference, combined with the fact that we live 400 miles away from each other for most of the year, may make it difficult for us to get along at times. At the end of the day, though, there are a few things I want you to know.

I want you to know that you’re the greatest gift I’ve ever received. Our parents have given me so much, but nothing compares to giving me a best friend for life. I consider myself lucky to have grown up with you. Although you may not realize it, you’ve made me a better person. Thank you.

I want you to know that I’m here for you. Whether you need my help or you just want to talk, I’m here. You can call me at any hour of the day and I’ll drop everything to be there for you, just as I know you would do for me. I hope you feel comfortable talking to me about anything, and that you know I’m always ready to listen.

I want you to know that I believe in you. Sometimes you’re so hard on yourself, but I hope you know that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. I can’t wait to see all that you will accomplish. No matter what you do in your life, I will be your number one fan.

I want you to know that I’m proud of you. Regardless of what grades are on your report card or how many hits you had in your last baseball game, I will always be cheering you on. I’m proud to call you my brother.

I want you to know that I love you. If there’s one thing I want you to remember, this is it. You’re so special to me, and I am truly lucky to have you in my life.

Thank you for always making me laugh, for supporting me and for being my lifelong best friend. My life is better because you’re in it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
