You may be bigger than I am, but you're still my little brother.

An Open Letter To My Little Brother
mcall

Little brother, I love you. As much as we fight and argue, I do. You were my first best friend. Even though you tried to get me to wrestle and play football and I as much as I dressed you up growing up, you'll always low-key be my best friend.

I will always be your biggest fan at anything you do whether it's sports or school or what. I will be there just as much as mom and more than any silly girl you're with. On that subject, I will never approve of any girl you're with. No girl is good enough for my little brother.

You're going to grow up and make your own decisions, I know you'll make them wisely. You make questionable choices sometimes, like whether or not you should wear a certain shirt, but I have faith in you. I've always bossed you around, and honestly that will probably never stop. I want the best for you even though it doesn't always seem like it.

I want to apologize. You won't hear me say i'm sorry much so take this for granted. I'm sorry that we fight. I'm sorry we but heads and disagree. I'm sorry for the silly pictures I take of you and how much I embarrass you. I'm sorry that I usually get my way and that you're usually the one who makes sacrifices and not me. I want to thank you. Thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for encouraging and supporting me. Thank you for the piggy back rides and teaching me how to fish. Thank you for carrying the heavy things and getting the cup off of the top shelf for me. Thank you for being you.

This is for my little brother. I’m the only person who will ever be able to love and hate you at the same time. You’re going to grow up and move out, but you will never be able to get rid of me, the memories will always be there. You may be bigger and stronger than I am but you're still my baby brother.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
