A Letter To My Brother

You're still my little brother, even if you are taller than me.

A Letter To My Brother
Kyndal Goss

Dear little brother,

As your birthday is quickly approaching, I'm starting to realize how fast you're growing up. It seems like yesterday you only weighed 10 pounds and Mom was getting onto me for carrying you all around the house like you were my own baby doll or something, and now in a few short weeks, you will be starting middle school. I know we argue sometimes (a lot) and we don't like the same things (you play Xbox and I play with make-up) but I can't imagine life without you.

You will be starting middle school in a couple weeks, and there are going to be lots of new things for you to do and see. I will help you out in any way I can, whether it be showing you how to open a locker, helping you with homework or just giving you advice (although I will have to alter my girl drama stories a little bit). I'm so glad that even though I am in college, I am still a few minutes away so I can do these things or even pick you up from school (is that cool or not?).

I'm glad I have you to share things with, especially when it comes to our eating habits (no matter where we go, I will always find us some chicken tenders or pizza). We have dietary preferences of 3-year-olds, but I am glad we are the same so I don't feel as bad about it!

I am so proud of you for all you have done, whether it be making honor roll at school or learning a new trick with your yo-yo. Even though you are taller than me now, you will always be my little brother. Remember that!

Love,

Your big sissy

To those who celebrate, you just spent an entire day cooking an elaborate meal with all of your favorite foods. You probably ate your body weight in pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. What happens now? Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
