To The Girl I Want To Marry My Brother

Not all of us are lucky enough to have a sister.

To The Girl I Want To Marry My Brother
Glad Tidings

Most of my friends are lucky enough in life to have a sister. Someone to go to for advice, or vent to about guys, or just to spend the night with, cleaning out a bottle of wine because, well... it's only Wednesday.

But me, I never had that. I grew up a confused little girl, dressed in the hand me down clothing of two older brothers. I learned about makeup by stealing old palettes from my mom and googling videos on YouTube. And instead of talking about cute boys with my sister, I was playing football against the boys with my brother.

But then one day he came home with a girl. She was beautiful and bubbly, the type of person every girl secretly wishes she could be. She was so kind and open. I immediately felt a relationship growing between us.

Suddenly I found myself asking her for advice. I would tell her about boys. We would go out for drinks and catch up on our lives. She was beginning to become a friend.

We got closer and closer, to the point where we would forget that the common factor that bonded our friendship, was her relationship with my brother.

And she made him so happy, happier than I've ever seen him. For a while, I barely saw the kid. But soon, we became a trio. I had never been so happy to be a third wheel in my life. I was so thankful to become closer with my big brother. What I did not realize was that I was gaining something else as well.


I never had a sister; until I met my brothers girlfriend. So many people complain about their "in-laws." But, I would be lucky to have her as my sister-in-law. I can picture our lives 10 years from now still gossiping like kids, while my brother mans the grill, and we have kids of our own running around the yard as best friends.

And, she would continue to make him happy. She would continue to help him grow. She would bring out his best and always support him. So, to the girl I want to marry my brother, I hope that you do. I hope you guys bring each other everything you need in this world. And I hope that things never change. I hope that one day, I can stand before you guys at your wedding, and thank my brother for finding me a sister.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
