What It's Like For Your Best Friend To Date Your Brother

And I am not talking about brother in Christ...

What It's Like For Your Best Friend To Date Your Brother
MTV

My freshman year of college has been a blast, but meeting an amazing girl that would end up being my best friend has definitely been a highlight. She means so much to me, I do not know what I would do without her. I didn't think that I would connect to someone so fast here at university and I appreciate her in every sense.

But this isn't just about her. My brother, sister and I are all at the same college. It has actually been really fun, I feel lucky to have them here with me. My brother is only about a year older than me, so naturally, we have a lot of the same friends.

I began a friendship with someone the first day and we have been inseparable ever since. I slept over in her dorm in the first week and we immediately got close and found that we have a ton in common. We both have parents overseas, we like art and singing, and other things. My brother, my sister, her and I hang out all the time.

My brother started taking an interest in her and he talked to me about it. I tried to give some advice to him while not knowing what she thought. I tried to be conspicuous but I am pretty sure they both knew what was going on.

I asked her about him and tried to feel it out and I sensed something was there.

I went back and forth between my brother and my friend to the point of me wanting to just say, "DATE ALREADY!" because I could tell they were very compatible.

Turns out, they totally were. They started dating and they have been an awesome couple.

Sometimes, actually a lot of the time, it is us three hanging out. I am super happy for them but can sometimes feel like a third wheel, even when they don't want me to!

Most of the time though, I am extremely glad they found each other and that I am so close with both of them. We can all have meaningful talks together and have gotten infinitely closer through all of it. I love them both so much and I am so glad they work so well together.

I love introducing them to people (and mention I helped as a wingwoman) and I know I am lucky.

I would rather have my best friend date my brother than someone I am not friends with any day.

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.

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.
