A Letter To My Siblings

In This Article:

There's nothing like having siblings. As annoying as they can be sometimes, in your heart they will always hold a special place, because let's be honest, they're your first best friends. I'm so thankful to have been blessed with two siblings; I don't know where I'd be without them.

Dear My Favorite Precious Humans... wait... I mean idiots... wait... Special Ones,

I hope you know how much I already miss our favorite things to do together. Movie nights, trips to eat Mexican, and just riding around are some of the things I miss the most about being home. I miss all (and yes there are many) of our trips to Dollar General and to go get ice.

I hope you know how much I've loved getting to watch you grow up. I can't believe you're both SENIORS?! WHAT!? How did that even happen? I hope you have loved growing up with me as much as I have with you, even when we've gotten on each others' nerves. I can't wait to watch y'all ball this year (YES! I will be home as much as possible to watch y'all ball out.) However, I'm not prepared because I know I'll be balling on May 17th :'(

I hope you know that I am your biggest supporter, even if I can't make it to all of your games. Ya girl is working so hard on her degree, but know that I'd rather be watching you play sports than in Chem II. I hope you know that I will be there to hold you when you cry, but I'll also kick you in the butt and tell you to get over it because it's time to get back to work.

I hope you know that it's ALWAYS a good time to call me. If my phone is off, it's probably because I'm in class, but I will call you as soon as I can, because there's nothing I want more than to hear your voice on the other end of the phone. I hope you know that you can call me about anything, big or small. But I hope you realize that you're always going to get brutal honesty from me, so think before you call.

I hope you know that you guys are my best friends. By the end of my four years here, I will have made lifelong friends who will hopefully fill my bridal party, but I want you guys to always remember that my Maid/Matron of honor shoes are already filled and there's only one guy I KNOW will be a groomsman. You guys are my first friends, as well as my best friends. Don't ever forget that.

I hope you know that you've made me proud. You both work so hard at school and sports, and there's nothing I want more than for you both to follow your dreams wherever they take you. I don't know what path either of you will take going into school, but I can only hope and pray 1.) It will lead you to Mississippi State or 2.) It will lead you on the best path for YOU. I hope that you chase your dreams, but never catch them.

I hope you both know that I will always be here for you. No matter the circumstance, time, or place I will drop everything that I can drop to be with you. I hope you know that my door is always open. At home, in Sessums Hall Room 214, or wherever I may be, I hope you know that you can always barge in (well.. try to knock first) and tell me about your day, because there's nothing I love more than sharing my life with the both of you.

I hope you know that every single thing that I have said here today comes from the bottom of my heart, well not literally, because then I may have a heart attack, but you know figuratively. Anyway... I hope you know that I really am your number one fan, your shoulder to cry on, your best friend to laugh with, but most importantly, I'm your big sister, and I'm so glad that I have you. If I had different siblings, I would punch them in the face and come find you. I hope that you both have an amazing senior year.

I love you so so much!

Your Sister,

Bry <3

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
