What It's Really Like To Have An Older Brother
Madison Yeo

Having an older brother is the best feeling in the world, it's not just having an older sibling, it's having a best friend. Sometimes your parents or your best friend can't always be a shoulder to cry on, or someone to vent to, having an older brother is a true blessing and if you have an older brother, I'm sure you know exactly how I feel.

1. "You're so and so's little brother/sister!"

Everyone knows this line too well if you were blessed with a popular older brother in school.

2. He's your bully, protector and best friend all in one.

Your brother will fight you one second, teach you life lessons the next, while you would look up to him like he’s literally God.

3. He will teach you what’s cool.

That new song on the radio? Yeah, he knew that song a month before it came out. He’s basically your personal hipster.

4. He will need to claim his dominance occasionally.

He was born first, therefore, he’s better and he will let you know.

5. Allowing you to play video games with him defined love.

Especially if he had friends over, that’s how you know you’ve won his respect.

6. He would beat your ass if you took any of his stuff without asking.

But you learned a valuable lesson, don’t take what’s not yours without asking, or you can feel the wrath of the gods.


No matter what, he will always be your big brother.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
