To My Older Brothers, I Thank You

Never thought I'd be saying half of this, but hey it can't be too late to say sorry.

To My Older Brothers, I Thank You

Being the only girl out of four boys growing up obviously can take a toll on a girl, and having 2 older brothers... sheesh, I didn't think I would make it. But looking back now as I sit in my apartment at school I wouldn't want it any other way.

My brothers bullied me in every way possible, from making fun of how I dressed, or how my hair looked, or just pushing me down to make me cry for a little you name it. I mean that's what they're there for right? Yeah, try telling 7 year old me that or even 15 year old me. My mom would always say "You're going to miss them messing with you all the time one day." As I rolled my eyes and begged for them to move out, now I'm in my Sophomore year of college and they're the single thing I miss most from being home. Brothers have a funny way of showing their love, hey all boys do.

Thank you for making me feel safe at all costs no matter the situation, it didn't matter who it was if someone messed with me they messed with them. Thank you for your abundant support in everything I've done (including the things you didn't approve of) every early game, late game whatever it was I knew to count on you guys to be there. Thank you for showing me what I deserve, and not letting me settle for less. My standard in guys are so high because of you, you made me see that I deserve nothing but the best at all times. Thank you for making me extremely competitive, you guys taught me to never give up on my dreams no matter what it was, always strive to be the best in everything. Thank you for making me the amazing athlete I am today, you were always brutally honest, even when not asked... but I needed that. You pushed me until I made my goal. Finally, thank you for being you and helping me become the girl I am today. I couldn't have picked a better set of guys to be my brothers, I take pride in being the sister of guys who I think the world of. You will forever be the top 4 most important people in my life.

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!"

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
