7 Of The Most Valuable Lessons My Grandma Taught Me
Daelyn Josefak

My grandma is my best friend. She is one of the most incredible women I have ever had the privilege to know and I admire her deeply. As I was growing up, she taught me so many valuable life lessons that I always try to remember and apply in daily life. She continues to teach me these lessons every day and they have come to be some of the most important lessons I have ever learned. Here are a few of my favorites:

1. Make the most of every single second.

My grandma always reminds me to live my life to the fullest and appreciate every moment.

2. Create memories that will last a lifetime.

My grandma always tells me to take a mental picture of everything and experience amazing things that I will remember for the rest of my life. Her stories always inspire me to create memories and have stories of my own to share one day.

3. Always remind the people you love how much they mean to you.

My grandma always tells me how much she loves me every chance she gets, which inspires me to tell the people who are important to me how much I love and appreciate them.

4. Positive thoughts go a long way.

My grandma is always so positive, always finding the best in every situation. She reminds me to do the same and that everything will always work out the way it's supposed to. I have learned that it is always better to look on the bright side of things.

5. Never forget how special you are.

My grandma makes me feel like the most special person in the world every day and reminds me to never forget what it is that makes me unique and different from everyone else in the world.

6. Make sure whoever you date always treats you like a princess.

This is something my grandma stresses every time she gets the chance. She reminds me that whoever I decide to date and later spend my life with should treat me like royalty and make me feel like the best person in the world.

7. Never, EVER settle for anything less than you deserve.

My grandma reminds me of how I deserve nothing but the best and I should never settle for anything less.

These are just a few of the many things my grandma has taught me that have had a positive impact on my daily life. I love my grandma so much and I am so thankful for everything she has taught me about life.

Thank you for everything Grandma, I love you!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
