Open Letter To My Brother

My Best Friend

Open Letter To My Brother
Brianna MacDonald

Dear Connor,

I know you weren't too happy when I wrote Meaghan a letter and not you. So here is your letter. Let's just start with, I love you so much. Thank you for being here to talk to when I'm not in a good mood or keeping me motivated to workout. I also wanted to say, I'm proud of you and everything you have done. I know we have had our ups and downs when we were growing up, but I feel like now we are closer than we have ever been. It might be because we are both in college and barely see each other now, but I'm just happy we are close. You have changed so much in just one year, you have grew up a lot. I am so happy you have realized what you need in life and what makes you happy in life. I can't wait until you get your internship and achieve in everything you have been wanting to achieve in. I can't wait to watch you grow up even more than you have. Which I can, because I am younger than you. Let's just say, I can't wait until you are happy forever and I can help take care of your kids when you have them.

Let me rephrase the motivated part. Thank you for always keeping me motivated. Whenever I text or talk to you about working out, you always tell me to keep going. Whenever I eat the wrong thing or drink pop, you always have to make a comment. But that helps me stop doing what I was doing. Whenever I need a new workout or just something, you are always there to tell me what to do and what to change. I literally couldn't be more thankful for that and you. It helps keep me going and improving in my workout habits and my lifting habits.

I'm proud of you, let me say that again. I'm so very proud of you. I know you don't hear that often but I want you to know I am. When it comes to you improving in school or improving in basketball. I'm proud of who you have become. Lately you have changed and it was definitely for the best. When it comes to basketball, I know it is your life, just like lifting is. And I'm so proud of how much you have improved in both of those obstacles. I love watching you play because I can see how happy it makes you.

Basically, what I'm trying to say here is that I look up to you. It may not seem like it often, but I do. I look up to everything you do. I compare myself to what you use to do and why I can't do what you did. I am so happy to be able to call you my brother. Because you are the reason I am who I am. And I wanted to thank you for that. Thank you for being my best friend and my brother. Even though you couldn't control being my brother. I'm so happy we have gotten so close lately and I love you.

Sincerely,

Your little sister

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
