A Letter To My Brother From Another Mother

Dear Brother,

We may not be related by blood, but you're the closest thing to a brother that I will ever have. You listen to me when I need advice, you tell me when I am wrong (even if I may not agree), and you're not afraid to give it to me straight. You are more real with me than most people, and I thank you for that.

I can't imagine life without you. You have given me something I've never had and that's a brother's love. We may fight like real siblings and not always see eye to eye, but know that I will always love you regardless. You mean more to me than words can describe, and I thank God every day for bringing you into my life. I may not always tell you this, but you have been a huge influence on my life and I don't know what i would do if you had not come into it.

In addition, you inspire me to be a better person. You encourage me to reach for my goals, you support me in all that I do, and you encourage me to do better when I am struggling. You make me feel like I can accomplish more than I ever could. You also aren't afraid to tell me when I do something I shouldn't be doing. Whether that be hanging out with people I shouldn't or taking a job when I shouldn't, you tell me when I am going to screw up before I even realize what I'm doing is wrong. Thank you.

You understand me. You understand where I come from when I tell you what's bothering me. Even though I may not always like your advice, I appreciate it and it's usually what I need to hear, even if I may not realize it. You help me to realize my problem and fix it. You don't judge me when I tell you about my problems, even if you find them stupid and irrelevant. You listen to me anyway because that's who you are.

I could go on and on about how much you mean to me, but this letter would be never ending if that were the case. In short, the most I can say is this: Thank you. Thank you always and forever.

Love,

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
