An Apology Letter To My Dog

I'm sorry

An Apology Letter To My Dog
Haylee Smith

To my dog who will never understand the impact he has on my life and who will never know how much he means to me.

I'm sorry for not being able to watch you grow old everyday. As I'm starting off my life not being able to bring you with me is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

I'm sorry for not giving you all the attention you deserve when I am home. Your loyalty to me will be everlasting but I will never fully be able to give you enough.

I'm sorry for all the times I could have played with you but chose to do other things instead. You were never a main priority of mine when I was growing up and I would give anything to show you again how much I love you.

I'm sorry for all the countless times I yelled at you or got mad at you. I shouldn't have been so hard on you when you tore up the couch or had an accident in the house.

I'm sorry for taking you for granted. You are the sweetest thing that has ever lived. You are the only thing that has never harmed me or caused me grief and I took that for granted when I was around you all the time. You understand me and that's something that very few people have.

I'm sorry that you will never truly be able to understand why I'm leaving you because you are a dog. You will never know how much I miss you or long to hear your annoying bark because I can't call and talk to you on the phone.

Mostly I'm sorry for leaving you behind. For not being able to bring you with me. You deserve so much more in a life than I could ever provide for you. I don't really know what it feels like to have a child but I've had you since you were a baby and so I guess leaving you is kind of like leaving a piece of me behind. You are so special to me. And I wish I could give you more.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
