To My Brother As I Come Home For The Summer

Dear brother,

I know I've been away for the past few months and you probably aren't looking forward to me coming home because it means you won't be the only child under the roof anymore, but get ready because here I come, after this finals week.

Just know that I'm excited to come home.

You've done a year of growing up since I left and I'm ready to get to tell you the stories and of the stupid stuff I've done since I've been gone. I'm also ready to hear your side of the story that mom already told me, but I'm sure your side of it is way more exciting.

I hope you know that I expect us to do a good amount of adventuring together before I have to come back to school. I know you'll probably be irritated with me and call me annoying, but you'll deal.

Just know that I realized that it won't always just be me and you.

After a year away from home, I've realized that one day we'll both choose where we want to settle down and start a real adult life. The chances of us settling down in the same place is probably slim because we are both completely different people. So me being annoying is me telling you that I love you and I miss you already.

Just know that I'm ready to teach you.

Okay so I know I'll be stressed but I am so ready to help teach you how to drive. I'm ready for you to take the wheel of Gloria and to show me what you got. Mom and Dad are both busy with work and I'm sure I will be too, but I cannot wait to help you learn how to do a big adult thing.

Just know that I still have an attitude.

I know I'm sitting here saying that you're so great and I'm ready to get along. But just remember that I haven't had anyone to fight and bicker with for almost a full year. Since you're the one that I grew up bickering with, get ready because I'm sassy and attitude-y as ever.

Just know that you're my best friend.

Being that you're my only sibling and I'd rather have a brother than a sister any day, you are my best friend. Through the years of sharing rooms, the laughs, the tears and the shared backseat through all of the road trips, you are my life best friend. So know that even when we're old, I'm going to text you even if you won't respond because you suck at texting back.

Just know that I want to be more like you.

Remember that even though I'm older, you're better than me. You're so selfless and a cool person all around and I want to be like you. So when it seems that I'm 'copying' you, it's because I have realized how cool you are in this past year.

Sorry that I embarrass you daily,

Your big sister.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
