Why Little Brothers Are Simply The Best

You can always count on me.

Why Little Brothers Are Simply The Best
Hannah Booker

Little brothers…boy can they be annoying.

My little brother will run into the house holding a dead squirrel in my face, he will burp as loud as he can on purpose in front of me, he will leave my car a complete wreck, and he might even say some extremely embarrassing things about me to my boyfriend.

My patience is tested on a daily basis by having a little brother, but he’s just so darn cute that I can’t stay mad for too long.

You see, he may annoy me and drive me crazy, but as we get older I’m starting to see that at the end of the day I know he will always be on my team, he will always be on my side until the end, and encourage me to be the best version of myself that I can be.

My brother and I have a six-year age gap, and I love getting to watch him grow. He’s grown from that little snaggle tooth boy hitting off a baseball tee, to a teenager who won’t even let me wave to him in the car line anymore.

There is so many times when I’ve been too bossy, I’ve tried to talk to him like I’m his mom, and I’ve had a bad attitude to him for no reason at all.

We have most definitely had our ups and downs but, I love coming home and seeing his smiling face, hearing about his day at school, listening to the latest middle school drama (goodness has it changed since I was 13!), and watching him be a ball boy next to my daddy on football Friday nights.

My brother may think that I don’t care, and that I’m always just trying to get him in trouble, but I hope he knows that he will be my best friend forever. I don’t care where the wind blows him, I will be there supporting him every step of the way.

I am so proud of the heart he has. I love watching him grow and turn into the precious young man that he is becoming.

Next time your little brother drives you up the wall, take a deep breath and remind yourself of how much he looks up to you and relies on you, how much he loves you, and how important it is that we older siblings set a good example.

So, to the halloween baby boy that broke my six year only child streak, I hope that you know how loved you are and that you can always count on me.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
