To My Older Brothers, Thanks For Always Having My Back

OK, so you aren't THAT bad.

To My Older Brothers, Thanks For Always Having My Back
Marlee Nickow

Dear Bros,

Growing up, my friends always asked me If having brothers who were so much older than me was an annoyance or a pain. I would always say, "No...okay well maybe sometimes, but they are the best!"

Yes, living with so many boys who had control over everything was a tad annoying. I'm talking choosing the show to watch, getting our parents to drive them places, and getting the black computer over the white (haha if you know you know). I remember trying to practice reading and you guys would run in an interrupt so many times. I would yell, which only made you do it more. It was truly a fun game!

I was in first grade when you guys first went off to college, so I did not even live with you for that long. Soon enough, I was choosing the shows to watch. I got the rides. I even got the bathroom that I once shared with three boys all to myself. Amazing. While having a clean bathroom and a quieter house was nice, I did at times miss the chaos that would go down.

Now that we are all out of the house, I can honestly say that I wish we got to spend more time living tougher. As we have grown up, the age gap has not seemed as prominent. I never believed mom when she would tell me that we would all get closer as we got older, but that is 100% true. The six years that we all lived under the same roof were the most fun and loud times.

Thank you for always having my back and being there for me, and know that I will always be there for you.

You guys are my best friends, and I know that will never change. You will always be my older brothers and I will always be your younger sister, but one thing that is for sure is that the age gap will never tear us apart.

I love you,

Love, your much younger and favorite sister

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
