Why Older Brothers are the Best Siblings

There is nothing like having an older brother.

Why Older Brothers are the Best Siblings
Ansley Connor

I consider myself one lucky and very blessed girl. I have the most amazing and selfless parents, who have been able to provide me with everything I could ever want and need in my 20 years of life, while also raising me to be humble and appreciative. They have given me the best education, a car at 16, the “must have” popular items that the older girls had at school, and much more, but the one thing they have given me that rises above everything in my life is my big brother. Here are some reasons why having a big brother is the best sibling to have:

1. You never have to worry about being picked on by someone else.

He picks on you.Someone else picks on you, they are dead.

2. You will be blessed with his cute friends being at your house (but will never have a chance because you will always be known as the "little sister").

There are still three I'm set on marrying though.

3. You always had someone to play with when you were little.

Thank you for dressing up in sparkly dress-up clothes to skate around in roller blades “ice skating” with me, and when it came to playing teacher, thank you for transforming our attic into a classroom.

4. You have this steaming anger when someone does your brother wrong.

You might be little, probably smaller than whoever did him wrong, but that doesn't stop you.

5. You know all the cool rap songs.

*Hears cool song from brother*

*Plays it in front of your friends*

*Becomes the coolest person ever*

*Thanks brother in head*

6. He makes you tough.

When you get in a argument with your friend and they want to text it all out and be mean, and you’re just like, “Let's meet up."

7. Most importantly, he has shown you what a respectful man is.


If your brother is anything like mine and was raised like him, then in the most non-weird way, you want to find a man just like him (that you are not related to). Thanks for being the best role model and big brother a girl could ask for!

Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
