"Ugh my brother is going to be at school with me for my senior year." This was my thought whenever I was in high school and oh, have my views changed. I can honestly say I have received more odd calls than ever in college, but having a brother who is a freshman fraternity boy has taken the cake. This year we have both learned how to deal with calls from siblings when our parents aren't there to help us.
1. "Can I come sleep at your house?"
Of course you can, although I may be asleep too. I know when I heard about the triangle that says pick two and your choices are sleep, social life and good grades I didn't think it was that serious. Turns out, in college, it is.
2. "Will you do my laundry?"
I understand not wanting to pay a dollar per load but I'm your sister not your maid. (Sorry mom, now I know what it is like.)
3. "Do you have any food in your fridge?"
You can look, but I promise it is still empty. Eating at our chapters is great until about 9 p.m. because you ate at 5:00 and are now STARVING.
4. "I miss my dog."
DUH!!! We all miss our furry companion and when we get to see them, it is the best day ever.
5. "Are there any other good places to eat in Stillwater?"
Well yes, but not on our budget. Not having food over the weekend at our chapter houses puts a total cramp in the bank account. I mean c'mon, I can only afford one meal a day.
6. "Will you bring me food from your chapter, it's supposed to be less sketchy."
"Hi Wayne, I'm just making a late plate for my pledge sister.......?"
7. "Bub, will you come get me from class. I'll let you sleep at my house if you do."
Sadly the answer is always no, apparently he is always busy.
8. "Hey bub wanna get dinner?"
Sorry, I can't. I have nine hours left to pomp and a test Monday. *Laughs to self because it is 6 p.m. on Sunday.*
9. "Hey tell me how your life is going, I haven't seen you in forever."
Uh good, I like it a lot. I am so tired I can barely stay awake in class, pomping is about to kill me and I am having to spend so much money on coke dates. I honestly love college I am so happy here. Contrary to what that sounds like, he really does like everything about college.
10. "How is homecoming going?"
WILL IT EVER END? It seems like the answer is no, but just wait bub, all night pomp is the best night of the year because that means its over.
11. "Please don't get the mullet!"
After receiving the text to check out your brothers hair it is an immediate heart-attack. When pledge brothers convince you it is a good idea though, who wants to listen to their sister? No one, he has the mullet.
