My Brother, Hero and First Best Friend

Dear Butthead,


I'm not going to start off this letter by being all mushy and gushy about you because that would be gross and you and I are not on the same level clearly with the different in height and age and the fact that you are my older brother. But, with this letter, I'm either going to make you uncomfortable, or you won't read this unless I tag you in a million times. You know full well that I would have no problem with doing that.

I want to start off by saying thank you for being the best brother ever when I was born. I was told by mom that you "adored" me, and always wanted to be around me and help mom with feeding me and playing with me. You and I both know that all changed when I started talking around the age of five and standing up for myself. I'd like to think that's when everything went south and it's been like that ever since, however I know that you and I will always be there for each other no matter what.

I will never forget the time that I was able to run down into your room with my headphones in while mom and dad would have their monthly arguments. Unfortunately that's how often they were. Sorry mom, sorry dad. You were my shield when times were hard and I was able to talk to you about anything without you judging or having a different opinion.

When I was thirteen years old my world turned upside down when I heard you repeat the oath that got you sworn into the U.S Air Force. I didn't full realize that I was slowly losing my first best friend until you got on the plane in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was then that I only had my friends. I felt as if i was an only child.

Now that it's been over ten years since you left, It just feels like I'm the last kid to leave the house, which is the truth, I no longer feel like an only child. I know we are both busy with our lives we are trying to begin. You're just five years ahead of me. You may have gotten a car, license, and your own place before me, I still graduated college with my bachelors before you did. You had a good excuse, but I still won in that aspect.

I want to thank you for pushing me to be a better person. I know you don't want me to follow the status quo of East Liverpool and trust me, I don't plan on it at all. I will push past the barriers and make a name for myself no matter what. I have you to thank for that. Thank for all the chances you gave us to go on vacation together to see you. More importantly thank you for being the best big brother on the face of this earth. There isn't anyone else I would want to have in my life other than you even though you drive me nuts all the time. I love you bro!

Love,

Your Favorite Sister

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
