Growing up with Brothers

It is simply the best

I remember to this day my parents telling my brother and I the great news. That I was going to be a big sister soon. I remember imagining what it would be like to hold my little sister for the first time. Walking into the hospital room and seeing my mother holding a pink blanket with a beautiful little girl wrapped in it. Sharing my dolls with her, mall trips and telling her all my secrets. Gossiping about cute boys and hoping we were the same size so we can share each others closet. All these great ideas running through my head stopped as soon as I walked into the hospital room. All this excitement stopped as soon as I found out I was a big sister to a little boy dressed in blue. Really mom and dad? Another boy? I already have a big brother. I was pretty upset, but I got over it after a little while.

Little did I know that growing up with only brothers was going to leave me with the best childhood. I got to do a lot of fun things that most little sisters didn't. I played roller hockey with them, football, basketball, cops and robbers you name it. So in return, I made them play dress up, dolls and yes school. Now when I say made, you're probably picturing me holding them down while I forced a Cinderella dress on them. Nope, I was the princess in the house and they usually did what I wanted. Probably because I always did what they wanted to do too. We took turns between our boy games and girl games. Now I'm not by any mean saying we got along every second, because no siblings do. But after five minutes of arguing back and forth, we lost track of what we were even fighting about and were moved on. And that is how it's always been, and I plan on it always being like that.

Now that were older, we are even closer. I think once I moved away to college is when we really realized how growing up with each-other, simply was amazing. I miss only being a room away from you guys.

To my older brother who just moved out; thanks for being my very first friend and my best-friend of twenty years. Living and growing up together was a blast. You're one of a kind and will always be one of the most kind-warmhearted people I know.

To my little brother who still has many years before moving out; know that your older brother and I still consider your home, our home. That we miss you everyday and that we will always be there for you. Thank-you for being the number one person to make me laugh. And thank-you for all the fun adventures.

I know many sisters say that they have the best brothers; but I simply think I do. I am so lucky with the relationship I have built with them. I know that they would do literally anything for me, as I would do for them. Love you both to the moon and back.

Your Sister

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
