A Letter to My Little Brother as He Heads Off to College

It's one thing to go through the process yourself. But after experiencing it, and now seeing someone I care about so much about to experience one of the greatest feelings I have ever felt… Well, it's emotional to say the least.

A Letter to My Little Brother as He Heads Off to College
Ellen Gallagher

To my brother –

I have watched you grow up from the minute you were born until the minute you're at now, and to say I'm proud would be the biggest understatement ever. You have grown into the most perfect kind of man – so smart, so caring, so funny, and so amazing. I can't wait to see what huge things are in store for you in this next chapter of your life and all of the chapters after.

I've told you all of my college stories, and you sit there listening like a champ, even when I know you don't want to. I am beyond excited for you to come home from school with your own crazy stories, about your own friends and your own experiences. You are going to have so much fun and I can't wait to be by your side to see you at your happiest.

I know we do things pretty differently, but we are not close despite it, but because of it. I admire the way you go about everything and the way you live your life. You are so generous and so smart, and these qualities of yours, plus the other billions of amazing qualities you possess are the reason you have grown up into such a great person.

You are going to do HUGE things, I know it and I have known it ever since you could name every species of dinosaur by the time you were five. I love you, and I'm so excited to be by your side as you begin this journey.

Love always,

Your big sister

For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
