To My Sibling Starting Their Senior Year

Where did that little kid go that I never wanted to be around?

To my sibling starting their senior year,

To say that I’m proud is an understatement. To say I’m amazed by all that you have accomplished is not close enough. To say that I’m blessed to have you as a sibling will never fully express how truly blessed I actually am.

I remember when you were that little annoying kid that never seemed to leave me alone and always wanted to hang out with my friends and me. You would cry over what seemed to me as the dumbest of things and got mad at me for the smallest of things. We never seemed to get along no matter what Mom and Dad did. I would always ask you to grow up and act a little more mature. And I always had to worry about you.

Now looking at you, as you are off staring senior year I am in awe. I wonder to myself, where did that little kid go that I never wanted to be around? What happened to the person that was always extremely embarrassing? When did you become the person that I look up to the most out of everyone in this world? Who will be the next person you make a difference in the life of? How did you grow up so fast?

This year is going to be at times an absolute mess. Other times it will fill you with so much joy and pride that you can do nothing but smile. It will be the busiest year of your entire life, filled with many late nights and what seems like an endless stack of scholarship applications. You may find that your friends were never truly your friends to begin with. Senioritis actually seems like a real disease. People may try to stab you in the back. The word “last” will be your most used word of the year. Spending time with friends seems like top priority. You will cry, a lot.

Senior year flies by, so don’t waste a second of it. Only you can make the most of this year that you have, don’t let anyone ruin it for you. If you want to do something then do it, you have nothing to lose. I know you can do it and I know you will have an amazing senior year. Your older sibling is always here for you no matter what. I am so proud of you and that is something that will never change.

Love,

Your Best Friend

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.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
