When You Give A Girl A Brother, You Give A Blessing In Disguise

They may be gross and annoying, but they are also your best friend.

When You Give A Girl A Brother, You Give A Blessing In Disguise
Kaylyn Atchison

When you give a girl a brother, you give her a best friend. You give her someone to run to the gas station with, someone to hang out with, someone to be a role model to. When you give a girl a brother, you give her a protector. You give her someone to be protected by, someone to judge every guy she ever brings home, and someone to make sure she is always safe. When you give a girl a brother, you give her a teacher. You give her someone to teach her how to fish, how to hunt, and how to be a tomboy. When you give a girl a brother, you give her a new life.

Having a brother is one of the best and possibly worst things that can happen to someone. They teach you how to do things, they help you, the protect you, and they help you experience a new life. The worst things about having a brother is fighting (fist fighting), sometimes annoying, and gross. Although having a brother is awesome, we don't realize it soon enough,

My brother has put me in headlocks, hit me, and called me names he didn't mean. But, he has also asked me to go with him to the gas station, go out and get food with him, and watch movies with him. Some days, he is too busy for family; some days, he'd rather be with his friends or fishing. But sometimes, he'd rather hang out at home and watch a movie or grab some food with you.

When you give a girl a brother, you give her a blessing in disguise. He will always be there for you even if you ditched him one time for your friends or you made him mad because you got your fishing line stuck. He may roughhouse with you, he may push you around and call you names, he may test your patience, but that is what brothers are for. They are there to help you throughout life and help teach you any lesson they can through many ways whether it be through annoyance, fun, or rough housing.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
