Why Big Brothers Are Secretly The Best For Little Sisters

I may not have the big sister I always wanted, but I was blessed with two big brothers instead, and I would never change that.

The Built-in Best Friend

What's better than having a built-in best friend? A little sister will always have her go-to person to make fun memories with, even when all her girl friends are busy.

Their Opinions Are The Most Honest And Valued Ones

Brothers will give their opinions even when they weren't asked, and will always find a way to but into their little sisters business. But when they say how pretty their sister looks, or how proud of them they are, they really are telling the truth.

The Personal Bodyguard

Brothers will have their sister's back through anything. And no matter how old their little sister gets, they never stop trying to protect them from the real world. But at a certain age, maybe it's time to lay off scaring all the boys away.

They Are Disgusting, But It's Surprisingly Helpful

Sharing a bathroom with at least one of my brothers for 19 years has been a challenge, but I built a tolerance to all the disgusting habits that boys have, which has taught me how to deal with nastier things in life then just cleaning up after them. Turns out brothers are useful for something.

They Treat Their Sister Like "One Of The Boys"

While little sisters may not always be welcome to tag along with the boys, big brothers will always see her as one. Although, they do usually remember she's still a girl when they're talking about their trucks (or something boring like that).

So, I may not have been given a big sister to help me with makeup or how to dress, but I had something better. I was given two big brothers who occasionally forget I'm not a kid anymore and that I'm sadly not a little brother instead. Thanks for being my best friends.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
