My Brother is Not So Little Anymore

To My Brother Who is Thinking About College
Myself

Wow...I can't believe you are halfway through high school and already thinking about where you want to head off to college. It feels like just yesterday that I was going the hospital two days before my third birthday to go meet my new baby brother that had just arrived and I tried to give you back (But now I'm glad that I couldn't). The day you were born is the day that my life completely changed for the better. It was the day that I was no longer the only child and that I became a big sister.

We have had so many memories, arguements, and much more together. We also have gone through a lot together. Some of my favorite memories include playing together in the basement when we were younger, spending the summer doing activities at Point Sebago in Maine, playing together on the same hockey team and Dad being our coach, watching all your sporting events and the list could go on.

You aren't just my sometimes annoying but amazing little brother but you are also my right hand, partner in crime, biggest competitor (sometimes), teammate, my twin (according to some people) but most importantly, you were my first real best friend and you always will be. You have been by my side since the year 2000 and I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for you.

I am so proud of how far you have come and for everything you have accomplished in life. You are so determined to succeed at everything you do and to achieve every goal you have and that is something I truly love about you because you don't care how hard the goal is to achieve, you always want to work hard to reach your goal and make your dreams become a reality.

I can't believe you are finishing your sophomore year and you already know what you want to do in life and where you want to go to college after high school. I didn't know what i wanted to do and where I wanted to go until the end of my junior year and the beginning of my senior year. I know you will do amazing in whatever you do and I will always be your biggest fan and so beyond proud of you. I love you so much little bro.

xo,

-Your big sister Lex

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
