7 Reasons Why I Hate My Little Brother

If you have a little brother, you can probably relate.

Oh, brothers. Everyone has their own feelings about their younger brothers, whether it be in a good way or in a bad way. For me, my opinion on my brother has always stayed the same even till today. There was a point in time when I was in complete awe of my new baby brother, and guess what? I still am.


1. He's way too caring

I don't understand how this is even possible. I mean, I've heard of brothers who don't care for their family at all. Rather, they live life selfishly. My brother, on the other hand, cares way too much for his family. He always makes sure that we're okay. He knows that as another man in the family, he needs to make sure that everyone around him is doing okay before he worries about himself.

2. He shows his love in the cutest ways

Not only does this boy show his love by being caring, but he does little things that really make me wonder how I got so lucky to have such an amazing little brother. For example, one time I really wasn't feeling my best. I had been in my room crying all day, and I had no energy or motivation to do anything. My brother saw how I was feeling and immediately cheered me up by bringing me my favorite food and asking if I needed anything. Just his small act of love and kindness was enough to bring a smile on my face.

3. He is the comedian of the house

Although I like to think I'm the funniest person I've ever met, I have to admit that my brother is pretty funny. He'll crack jokes during dinner that will have us laughing for days. He knows how to get a smile on everyone's faces. When he notices that we look a little dull or stressed from school or work, he'll say something so funny that our stress is gone for good.

4. He's smarter than me

I don't like to admit this either but unfortunately, it's the truth. It amazes me that he is so smart, whether it be academically or socially. I'm not sure if I should be more mad at him or at my parents for passing the smart genes to him instead of me. Well, since he is my brother, I am more than happy to proudly say that my brother is smarter than me. I can't wait to see what he'll grow up to be when he's older.

5. He notices every single detail

Literally. It could be as simple as someone saying something minor during an extended conversation or even something someone told him 10 months ago. It's crazy how strong his memory is now. I'm not sure if I should look at his memory as an advantage or a disadvantage but he really does pay attention to every single detail. Whether it be my favorite restaurants, favorite YouTubers or even my favorite pair of socks, he's got it noted.

6. He's the most spoiled

Unfortunately. Before he was born, I was treated like a princess by my parents. I got everything I asked for and I absolutely love it. Then came my brother. The day he was born was the day I lost my power as royalty of the house. My parents soon started to treat him like a king. They got him everything that would make him happy. Well, in hindsight, I guess he deserves it because of everything he does for us. But mom and dad, don't forget I'm still the princess of the house.

7. He sees the world differently than I do

Every day, I gain more and more insight into the world that my brother sees. His care and love for his family are way beyond anything I've ever seen in a person so young. As a college student, I'm always stressing about assignments and exams. However, my brother knows that we can't let stress take over our lives. In fact, his presence alone is enough for me to realize that life is so short and to see the world in his eyes.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
