To My Big Brother,

Three years ago, on the first day of college, you welcomed me into your life with open arms. Entering college was an incredibly intimidating time for me. I didn't know many people and I was looking to find my way, just like everyone else. Little did I know, it wouldn't take me longer than a day to become great friends with one of the most incredible people in my life to this day, you.

For the past three years, you have watched me grow into the person that I am today. When I fell down, you were there to pick me up. When I needed a shoulder to cry on, you were happy to be that for me. When I needed someone to listen, your ears were always open. When I needed you most, you were consistently by my side. You have always pushed me to be better than I was yesterday and now it's my turn to push you. Together, we have shared our failures, achievements, and dreams. And now, your biggest dream is about to become your reality.

A week ago, you departed for New York City for a HUGE interview as a Stock Trader on none other than Wall Street. I remember the day we met clear as day. Shortly after introducing yourself, you told me "Some day I'm going to make something of myself. I'll be the biggest man on Wall Street." It's funny how life works out sometimes. You are by far the most well educated, passionate, and driven person I have ever met. Without a doubt in my mind, I knew you'd ace the interview with flying colors.

It was no surprise when I received an overly excited phone call just a few short hours after the interview. "I DID IT!" When I say that in that moment I had never been more proud of you, I swear to you it's true. You have worked your entire life to get to where you are today and I know in my heart that you WILL succeed. As you depart for New York City next week, just know that I will always be rooting for you. Remember to take this opportunity, run with it, and don't look back. You've made it.

You're going to do great things and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you. Never forget, I'll always be your biggest fan. So here's to the next chapter... I wish you nothing but the best.

"Follow your dreams and the universe will open doors for you where there were only windows."

XOXO,

Your Little Sis

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!)

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions.

However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
