For My Brothers Who I Wouldn't Trade For The World

They’ve made me tougher, wiser, and happier.

For My Brothers Who I Wouldn't Trade For The World

This is for my brothers,

Who are truly the best. The fact that I get to live with two of my best friends is really, really great. The bond we share is really special, no matter the type of day we’re having. Even though the inevitable will happen and you will fight with your siblings, they’ll always be the people who grew up by your side.

Whether the fist fight breaks out because they looked at you funny when you were in a terrible mood, took your mom or dad’s side when they should've stuck with you, or made fun of you and you won’t tolerate it, no matter what, your siblings will always be your siblings. Whether you like it or not, they aren’t going anywhere. Like many people say, you can pick your friends but you can’t pick your family. But if you’re lucky enough, your family members are some of your best friends anyway.

Having two younger brothers is something I would never ever ever want to change. Some people wish for the things they don’t have, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The relationships I have with the both of them are very different, but are both so special to me.

Brothers are there for you when you need advice, and not sugar-coated. When you just need to know something with an honest opinion, they’ll tell you the truth, even if it may be too honest sometimes, but it's just out of love. They’re there for you when you want to go on adventures late at night when you don’t want to do homework. They’re there for you when you need a good laugh, or when you want to make ice cream sundaes at midnight.

The relationship may be “love-hate” at times, but I know that a day doesn't go by that they wouldn't be there for me. Remember the times you’re in a fight with somebody and you’re trying to hold the grudge just because that’s what you're supposed to do in a fight? With brothers, it’s almost impossible because of the urge to show them something so hilarious you just can’t stay mad.

I’ve learned the most from my brothers, laughed the hardest, had the most fun and smiled the most with them. I’ve always appreciated and looked up to them, even though they are seven and three years younger. They’ve made me tougher, wiser, and happier. But as I’m away at college this year I’ve learned to appreciate them more. As we get older our friendship only bonds tighter, and I am excited to see what the future will bring.

With utter love and appreciation for my brothers!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
