13 Things You Know To Be True If You Grew Up With Brothers

Bridget Ells

1. Writing your name in bold letters all over your leftovers box

Adding a devil with horns might do the touch too! People who grew up with brothers knew you had to fend for your food.

2. You know how to throw a football properly

On rare occasions they'd let you join them playing toss in the yard...ONLY if you knew how to spiral the football properly.

3. They never steal your clothes but you most definitely steal their cool jerseys

"Bridget, where did my bulls basketball jersey go?"

4. It's easier to shop for your boyfriend because you know what men like most for gifts

Instead of looking up "boyfriend gift ideas" on Pinterest, you have the best resource guides right in front of you.

5. You're spoiled

Being the only girl, you get spoiled a little extra! Yes it'd be different if you had sisters, and no you're not complaining about it!

6. You sat through all their sports games

And you bet you were their #1 fan!

7. Fart jokes, poop jokes, fart jokes, fart jokes

The jokes always seemed to be at the worst times: the dinner table, out in public, or when your friends were over.

8. There isn't ever any "petty" drama

There's never any petty drama like what you might have with sisters. You can push each others buttons and laugh about it at the end of the day.

9. You get giddy when you can watch an episode of HGTV, because sports is on the TV 24/7

You're singled out when you have brothers because sports will ALWAYS win the majority vote.

10. You lowkey crushed on your older brother's friends

All girls can relate there was that one friend your older brother had that you always thought was cute growing up.

11. The toilet seat was always up

No matter how many times you reminded them, you always ended up flicking the seat down.

12. You've gained a high patience level and thick skin

You turned into a pretty tough chick from all the troubles your brothers gave you!

13. At the end of the day, you feel extremely lucky to have them.

You know they're always going to have your back and you're going to have theirs. Brothers are the biggest blessings.

Besides, your mom can play the role of your sister anyway!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.
