An Open Letter To The Girls My Brothers Marry
Tiffany Grace Bianco

Hi there,

To you, I may just be the future evil sister-in-law, but I promise, it's nothing personal. When it comes to a sister's brothers, I'm bound to get over-protective and I may come off as mean, but really, I just love my brothers to the moon and back a billion times over.

Best friends, partners in crime, at times enemies, but most of the time they're truly my people.

Trust me, girlfriend, there is nothing in the world that will wedge the relationship that my brothers and I have. You could move him 100 million miles away and you will still not get rid of me. I will always be in your life. Why? Because you chose to marry an only sister's brothers. That's one pretty special and strong bond. You could be together for 24 years, but remember I will have known him for 18 more years than you. If there is any person who knows him more, it's me.

So, save the, "Oh, I love when ____ does this," or, "___ always does this," or, "Did you know ____ read all the 'Harry Potter' books in a week?"

Yes, I know. I was the one in the desk next to him when he wrote out every spell to 'Harry Potter' and saved it in a notebook! I know he wears the same shirt for three days! I've lived with them for 18 years. I know everything there is to know about these people. And trust me honey, as much as you may think you know, I've been their super secret keeper since age embryo.

Now as protective as I will always be of my brothers, I want you to know that I will always love and respect you. You truly got lucky. My brothers are the best people I've ever met in my life and any girl would be the luckiest girls in the world to have them be apart of their life. Even though they're immature, extremely messy and sometimes just straight dorks, they're going to make your lives truly incredible. I've shed more tears laughing with them than I have shed sad tears on their shoulders after a bad day. They've seen me heartbroken and have seen me not be treated how they want so trust me, I've got them whipped into total husband material. They are such amazing human beings and have the biggest hearts. I'm so thankful to have grown up with these beautiful souls and I'm so happy that you can experience them as well. They helped shape me into the strong person I am today and I can't imagine my life now and ever without them in it. I hope you appreciate them as much as I do because every day I love them more.

So, thank you for loving my brothers. They deserve a lifetime of endless happiness. I've always imagined them being with a girl who makes them happy every single day of their lives. I really hope you can live up to the high expectations I have for my brother's wives but I have no doubts you won't. I'm really not the evil sister-in-law I make myself out to be. Just an only sister who was spoiled by her brothers her whole life and loves them more than anything in the world.

Love them through the hard times and the good times, and I promise to be there for you guys through it all.

Love,

The Not So Evil Sister-In-Law

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.

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.

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!
