A Letter To The Girl My Brother Marries
Diana Giacobbe

Dear Future Sister-in-law,

First of all, I want to say thank you. Thank you for obviously being one of the main reasons my brother is smiling so much. All I truly want for him is for him to be happy and successful. It feels completely unreal to think about the day I will be sitting at his wedding, celebrating your love and you becoming a part of our family. I know my brother and while it may sound cliche, he honestly deserves the best. He has watched me go through more heartache, with probably many more to come than anything and would never hurt a girl in any way. Many girls don't understand the hurt that their brothers have caused for some girls and I am proud to say that my brother is definitely not the person to do that. While you already may know these things, I want to reinforce the most important things of marrying my brother...

Welcome to our crazy family. Family is the most important part of my brother's life and I am certain he picked you because you both have that in common. Welcome to our family birthday celebrations, annual Christmas Eve party and very fun weddings. I really pray that you love this family as much as my brother does.

Please spend your money wisely. Ever since my brother got a debit card, I have heard countless complaints from my parents of him spending his money on pointless things. You better be a saver, or else your money probably has no chance.

Know that your future children will probably be the luckiest children in the world because my brother is the most caring person to children. If he was in my field, he would most likely have been a pediatric nurse. Also know that your children will be lucky because they will have the most caring aunt to help guide them along with the most caring grandparents. While right now, we aren't rushing that day, we still all can't wait to take part in those special moments with him and you.

Even though we may not have crossed paths yet, I know I will love you already. I cannot wait to meet you and call you my sister.

See you soon,

Your Favorite Sister-in-law

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.

8 Things That Make You Feel Like You Have Your Life Together

because none of us actually do have it all together

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.

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

#Adulting is hard.

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.

8 Things That Anyone Who Went To A Small School Knows

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

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.

10 Times We All Related To Chandler Bing On A Spiritual Level

"I'm hopeless and awkward and desperate for love"

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.
