There is never a dull moment.

Why Having a Brother is Wonderful
Michelle Beliveau

5) You never have to worry about him sugar coating it

You can count on a lot of people in your life to tell it to you gently, but when you have a brother no matter the age difference, he will always tell you like it is. If he thinks your make up looks more Rocky Horror and not so much rock star, he will tell you. Do you wonder if you he likes the person you are dating? Never fear, he will make it incredibly clear of what he thinks of them. With so many people in the world who are afraid to tell the truth, your brother will never be one of them.

4) He has been the subject to many tea parties/ dress up moments in his life.

If your sister was busy or mad because you hid her Barbie again, you always knew your brother would be down to hang out. The trick might have been to assure him that you guys can play “monster trucks” after you do what you want (even though you were suddenly too tired to play monster trucks when it was time), but he always would hang out with you. You wanted to play tea party? Well, he would be invited. Did not have enough people for “Pretty, Pretty Princess?” Guess what, he had your back. You will never have to play a game alone when you have a brother.

3) You always have someone to tag along with.

Sure, having a sister is pretty awesome. However, if she decides to go away to college, it leaves an empty spot for a wing-man. In steps in your bro, no questions asked. This guy will tag along anywhere you need. From shopping, to food, to even just playing put-put, your brother will always be down to hang out.

2) You will always have someone to defend you.


Your siblings will always be the first and only ones to give you crap in life. They can get away with teasing you, pranking you, etc. However, should someone outside of the sibling circle start messing with you, you can pretty much guarantee that your siblings, especially your brother will have your back. This is especially handy, when you go through break ups. We have all heard the saying “Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned.” Except in reality, hell hath no fury like a brother protecting his sister. Sorry ladies, I know we are tough, but we have to admit our brothers can come in handy at times.

1)He will be one of the few constants in your life.

There will be many times that you and your brother will argue. Many will be over dibs on the remote, or how he became irritated with you started sharing stories about past girlfriends. However, no matter what your brother will always be there for you. Even if you were not always the nicest, he will always do anything in his power to protect you. Many will come and go in your life, many as lessons learned. However, your brother will always be there for every good, bad, and in between times. So, thank you dear Broja. For always being our support line, best friend, real life doll, and over all partner in crime.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
