To the girl who will marry my brother,

You are the second luckiest woman, of course, other than me.

I had the good fortune of growing up with a supportive, kind soul each an every day. From the moment my younger brother was born, he cared for me like no other. His compassion and kindness could not go unnoticed. He has been supportive, even at times I did not deserve it. He is a protector even though he is 3 years younger than me.

He is driven to work hard and become successful. He is patient, almost too much at times. He is intelligent and wise. He is loving and comforting. He is strong and weak. He is awesome.

My brother can talk to any adult in a professional way on any given day or time. My brother can find the good in the worst people in this world. My brother can help a stranger out without even taking care of himself first.

My brother is amazing. And yes, you have the good fortune of being his other half.

As my brother approaches graduating high school, thoughts always ponder in my mind. Years have now passed since childhood, years of unknown events lay in front of us, and years are passing by so fast. I look back on our childhood and realize I am blessed to have such an incredible human being by my side.

I hope you are just as blessed as me. I hope you know you are spending your life with the most amazing person in the world. You should know that he likes music. He likes sports. He likes playing the guitar. He can quote any line from just about any movie. He can teach you about the stock market. He likes animals. He is determined.

But what I want you to really know is that you are marrying the best husband and future father you could ever hope for. The person you are choosing to marry is my best friend. He is going to take care of you, but I need you to take care of him. I need you to support him, love him, encourage him, and make him laugh.

Be his best friend.

I need you to love him as much as I love him. I know if he loves you, I will love you. I just know he deserves it. Treat him well.

XO

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

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. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
