11 Thing's I Want My Younger Brother to Know
Haileigh Hamer

Fortunately enough I am lucky to not only be blessed with one younger brother, but two younger brothers. Having a younger brother has to be the best thing to happen to me, I got to dress him up when he was younger, make him play dolls with me, and even boss him around just because I'm always going to be older. Now that we are older, I can no longer beat you up because you're taller, and I'm far away at college. But, there are things I want you to always know.

1. You're always going to be little to me.

Yes, people may mistake you for being the older one. But, I don't care how old you get, or how much taller than me you get, you're always going to be my little brother.

2. Always be respectful to any girl you meet.

You have been there for me through every one of my heartbreaks. You have seen how mean guys have been to me, please don't be that one. Because you never know who is going to want to hurt you if you hurt her.

3. Get in with a good group of kids.

You have seen the types of friend groups I have been involved with. I want you to have a good group of kids that are genuinely good people, and who won't force you into anything you don't want to do.

4. I will forever love our drives.

My favorite time of day is when I get to drive you around somewhere because that means I get to watch you dance and sing at the top of your lungs. Thankfully we listening to the same music so it's not a fight over the aux cord.

5. Learn from me getting in trouble with mom and dad.

I am the oldest, which means most of the things you try to pull with mom and dad, they are a step ahead of you. Try not to get in as much trouble as me, which honestly I don't even think is possible.

6. Any chance I get, I'll be cheering you on.

Sports are huge in your life and they always have been. Any chance I get I'm going to be on the sidelines as your biggest fan. Hopefully one day I'll be in the stadium cheering you on as a pro-athlete.

7. I am always going to support you no matter what.

As your older sister that is one of my biggest jobs, supporting you no matter what. Whether it is a huge life decision, or even just what to get for lunch, I will always support you, even when mom and dad don't.

8. Your Snapchats never fail to make me laugh.

Every time I see your name show up on my screen I prepare myself for the laughter I know is going to follow. I don't know why you send the funniest Snapchats, but you do.

9. I'm always going to be protective.

I'm older, which means the girls you date will most likely be younger than me, and anyone who tries to mess with you will be younger than me. I will do anything it takes to make sure you don't get hurt.

10. I'm always just a phone call away.

Just because I am gone most months out of the year now does not mean that I am not here for you. I'm just a call, a text, and even an email away. No matter the time of day, I promise I will always answer.

11. You're always going to be my best friend.

Somewhere growing up together, and I'm not sure when, we came friends. We grew too old for the fighting, and actually started to enjoy each other's company. No matter what, I'm always going to be proud of you and proud to call you my younger brother.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
