A Letter to the Girl my Brother Will Marry

Whether you are in the picture or not, I want you to know how truly lucky you are. You are going to marry my little brother, and become apart of a family that is eager to meet you and already loves you.

I’ve been praying for you for a while now, praying that my brother finds a girl who is smart, caring, compassionate and loyal. I’ve been praying that you come in a time of his life that he needs you to show him why everything will be okay. I’ve been praying that you show him how to love, and that it is okay for guys to show emotion.

I don’t know what you are going through, or what you have gone through, but I do know once you are with my brother, he will show you that everything is okay. He will hold the door for you. He will sing songs just to see your smile. He will pick up gallons and gallons of ice cream just because he knows you have had a rough couple of days. I’ve been waiting for him to find a girl like you, just like I know your family has been waiting for you to find a boy like him.

He has a sense of humor, so be patient if you do not get it at first, he loves to quote movies and sing at the top of his lungs in the car. He can eat more in one sitting than most can eat in an entire day so be ready to cook, and the grocery store will become your best friend very fast.

It will not be an easy task to fill, you will replace my mom and I on a shallow level of life. You will be the one he comes to when he needs advice at his job, you will be the one that does his laundry, and you will be the one to iron the shirt for that big job interview. We won’t.

It won’t be easy to let my little brother go, and I may not completely like you at first, but understand that's because you are taking away my friend who I did everything with. From playing dump trucks in the yard with my barbies, to playing a quick game of baseball in the yard. The brother I grew up with my whole life, the one who I may find annoying most of the time, will be the man that you can’t wait to spend your life with. It will be an end of an era for us, but just know that no matter if I like you or not, I love you because he loves you.

So, like I said before, you are going to be the happiest girl in the world. I hope you know that.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
