To My Brothers, From Your Sister In College

Andrea Bowers

To my dearest brothers,

First of all, I'd like to tell you both thank you for being the way you are. Thank you for loving me and putting up with me. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for aggravating me. Thank you for the millions of questions that drive me crazy. I couldn't imagine either of you any other way.

I'm sorry that I can't make it to every game, awards ceremony, and class party. I really try to, but being at college doesn't always allow me to be there.

I want you both to know I miss you dearly. While I love being in college, I miss being in the room right beside yours. I miss being able to talk to you in person when something is going on.

I know we fuss and fight when I'm home, but it wouldn't be home if we didn't. I'm thankful for winter breaks, summer breaks and weekends we get to spend together. They mean a lot to me, whether you two know it or not.

I'm thankful that I can tell you anything. I'm thankful that you listen, no matter how uninteresting my problems seem to you. I'm thankful that you're there for me when no one else is. I'm thankful that I can trust you.

You two may be younger than me, but you've taught me a lot. You've taught me what it means to be a friend and a sister. You've taught me how to take care of someone, because we all know how much I love to be bossy. You've taught me how I should be treated by others. You've also taught me everything I know about football.

I've always treasured you two, even though I don't always act like it. I was so excited to have two brothers. It never bothered me that I ended up with brothers and no sisters. I've loved watching you two grow and learn. I love doing what I can to try to help you. I miss not being there so much while I'm at school.

Just because I'm not there with you doesn't mean I don't think about you. It doesn't mean I wouldn't do anything I could to help you. I love both of you very much and I'll always be here. If you ever need me, I'm only one phone call away.

Once again, thank you for being there. Thank you for supporting me and putting up with me. Thank you for listening. Thank you for being the way you two are. Most of all, thank you for loving me so much.

Love,

Your Sister in College

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
