An Open Letter To My Little Brother

Dear Little Brother,

Right now you are probably doing something to annoy me or plotting to do something to annoy me. That is just how things are. You know exactly how to get on every single nerve I have within me. Regardless of all the arguments we get into, I would not give you up for anything. You mean so much to me. You bring so much happiness into my life.

I was an only child for ten years begging Mom and Dad to make a sibling for me. It was lonely, and then one day I got the best news. I was finally going to have a sibling, a baby brother of my very own. Finally, after ten years of waiting and begging I got my brother. I still remember the day you were born and how happy I was to meet you. I was the very first person to hold you, and as I looked down at your sweet face, tears pooled in my eyes. That day changed my life forever.

I am not only your sister. I am your supporter, role model and protector too. We are always there for each other when we need it the most. When Mom and Dad just do not understand what is going on, I am there for you. I am your shoulder to cry on. We stick together. That is what siblings are for.

Someday you are going to get older and start maturing into an amazing young man. You are going to learn things and be tested. I will be there for you through all of it. Even though I cannot always be there for you physically, you can always reach out to me. I will give you advice. You are going to struggle. There will be bad days, and good days also. No matter what though, you can depend on me. When a girl is playing with your heart and you just cannot seem to figure out what to do, I will guide you. You are going to experience failure, but I will be there to let you know that you have to get back up and try again. You cannot let anything get you down. You are in control of your life. We were not raised to give up.

You are getting older every time I see you. Big changes are coming for you soon, but I know you can handle it. You are my little brother, no matter how old you get. Whenever you need me, I will be there. We may not always get along, but at the end of the day we are siblings, and siblings have to be there for one another.

I could have never asked for a more perfect brother. You always know how to make me laugh when I am down. I would not trade you for anything. You have lit up my life since 2007. I am so thankful for you. Do not ever forget how much I care about you.

Life is a journey. A lot of things can happen, but one thing you should always know is that I love you, and I am here for you.

Love,

Your Big Sister

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
