An Open Letter To My Brother Who's Also My Best Friend
Susie Walker

To my older brother,

You are the one I miss the most and there isn’t a day that goes by without having you on my mind. From growing up inseparable to now being 457 miles away from each other. Some days are harder than others knowing that you aren’t just right across the hall. We have always been those weird siblings who have never fought with each other, which I can really thank you for. You have always just wanted the best for me.

You are the person I am most thankful for. You have a way of just making everyone happy and bringing so much positivity into one room. Whenever I am around you, I can’t help but have a smile on my face. You are the person that I can always turn to. You are the one that I can trust with all of my secrets. You have impacted me more than you can ever imagine. Through the good, the bad, and the ugly you are the one who is always there.

I don’t know anyone who has a kinder heart than you do. Knowing that you would drop anything whenever I need you is such a big blessing. I feel so lucky to call you my brother.

You have taught me so much in life. Whether it is school related, any advice you have given me, or just even little things you say while we are talking, I have learned so many different things. I have always considered you the “golden” child and I have always looked up to you.

You are incredibly smart, successful in anything you do, and just all around a good person. I strive to be just like you. You carry yourself with confidence and I have always been jealous of that and I am always wishing that I could be like you. You have saved me on my hardest days, been a shoulder for me to cry on, and you have been standing there with your arms wide open.

You are also the one who I have shared my best laughs and memories with. You protect if I am ever in any danger and you would never let anything bad happen to me.

Thank you for everything you have done for me. You have shaped me into the person that I am today. Thank you for always sharing everything with me, including your friends. I feel like I am the younger sister of about ten older brothers. You all make me feel like the most important person in the world. Thank you for always putting me first.

You will always be the number one person in my life. I know you will always have my back. You are the absolute best and I don’t know how I got so lucky to be able to call you my brother.

You are more than just a brother to me.

You are a role model

You are a hero

You are a teacher

But most importantly, you are my best friend

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
