A Letter To Christina Grimmie's Brother

Your act of heroism needs to be recognized.

A Letter To Christina Grimmie's Brother
OK Magazine

The night of June 10, 2016, is something you will never forget. A normal night after a show gone wrong.

Your sister, your best friend, was killed tragically doing what she loved. I would say sorry, but I know you've heard that word over and over and must be getting tired of it.

I cannot imagine ever losing my younger brother. He's one of the most important people in my life.

I applaud your act of heroism for attacking the shooter from the moment she got shot. By the looks of it, you didn't think twice. It was instant.

Not only did you save the hundreds of lives at the venue, but you made sure that the shooter didn't get away from the horrific crime he committed. It is said that he planned to return home two hours away like nothing happened.

It disgusts me that someone would even think about harming her. She seemed like an absolute sweetheart. She even greeted him open arms, not knowing his intentions.

I know you're going to have guilt for the rest of your life because you couldn't save her. Don't. You didn't know this was going to happen. No one did. You saved many other lives that night.

I hope that her tragic death makes a change of security in venues. There needs to be stricter security at concerts, especially general admission ones.

As someone who goes to general admission concerts a lot, I know that they don't really check what's in our bags or do a body check.

It may take longer, but I think it is worth it.

I know that Christina is looking down on you and is proud of your actions that night.

The next couple of months are going to be rough, I'm not going to lie, but take it day by day. It will be OK. She's your guardian angel, looking after you, your parents, friends and fans.

She's an inspiration to many. I don't know if this will give you peace or not, but she died doing what she loved, being with her fans.

God bless.

Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
