A Letter To My Brother As He Graduates College, Michael Scott Style

I couldn't ask for a better person to grow up next to.

A Letter To My Brother As He Graduates College, Michael Scott Style

Bro,

This month, you graduate college, and I honestly could not be more proud of you. Also, you make it 5 for 5 of our siblings that have graduated, so that’s pretty epic (I might be making that 5 for 6 – stay tuned).

I was thinking about making this a really sappy, long article about how much I appreciate you and love having you as a brother, but I chose to get the same message across in a way that describes us a bit better: in gifs from "The Office."

Without further ado, here is our history of being siblings and me doing what I do best (poking fun at you), as told by our favorite show:

1. Every time you tag me in a meme


Even though most of them I've probably already seen from Twitter.

2. You trying to enjoy The Bleachers concert even with a piece of confetti in your eye

And the most dramatic sibling award goes to....

3. You, one drink in, before your second drink lands you on the floor at 9 p.m.

4. Me, at 90% of the stuff you eat

5. You trying to get people excited to do stuff that only you really want to do (like playing Cranium)

6. You, buying endless reptiles that you don't need and probably won't keep

7. You, in 8th grade


8. You, when things don't go the way you planned them to

9. When no one will watch the show you've recommended 12 times


10. Us every time we found RollerCoaster Tycoon in the computer drawer again

11. You: *tells long story*

Me: Wait, what?

You

12. You, making sick trick shot vids with your friends


13. You, every time you've gotten on a health kick

14. You, post-graduation

15. Me, realizing you'll be permanently moved out soon and off to the adult world


All jokes aside, growing up beside you was one of the best things that's ever happened to me, and I'm so glad we've gotten so much closer as we've gotten older. Thank you for all of the phone calls and check-ins, and for always laughing at my jokes with your contagious laugh that gets everybody else in the room laughing. You're smart and creative and I couldn't be happier than to have you as my brother. Congratulations, fam.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
