A Letter To My Parents

Crazy or not, I love you unconditionally.

A Letter To My Parents

Let me begin by saying thank you. Thank you so much for being my rocks when I need it. Thank you for always being my biggest supporters and encouraging me to follow my dreams. Thank you for forgiving me when I am not at my best and helping me learn from my mistakes. Thank you for always being there to make me push myself to be better. Thank you for funding me previously (and now)...it is greatly appreciated. Thank you for all that you do. I know I would not be where I am now without the two of you.

I know that we don't always get along and we have our moments, but those rare times make up some of the best times to look back on and laugh about. Just know that through anything and everything, no matter how much we get on each other's nerves, I'm still just your little girl.

Don't think for a minute that I don't miss being with you while I'm at school; I mean, why do you think I call you just about every day? I know you like having an extra room available in the house, but I know you miss me too!

Thank you for funding me all these years, and occasionally on the side. Thank you for coming and bringing me out to dinner, or buying me groceries and shopping. Being a college student, it is greatly appreciated and so nice to see you!

Thank you for being my biggest supporters. Every sporting event of mine that you came to, every play, award ceremony, speech and school event did not go unnoticed. Thank you for calming me down when I call you upset over school and telling me that I can make it through. I know that no matter what obstacle I face in life, I will be prepared because I have parents who have shaped me into the person I am today.

Thank you for listening to all of my life problems. I know that I complain about school or work, but thank you for giving me the best advice and constructive criticism. Without you, I don't know how I would be surviving through tough times.

I know that I might not show it as much as I should, but thank you for all that you do. None of it goes unnoticed or unappreciated, because, without the two of you, I would be lost in this jumble we call life.

Thank you for being you. Even though I may think you're a little wacky and at times challenging, I have, hands down, the best parents God could have created. You keep me on my toes and are always caring and kind. Thank you for being the best people to be raised by.

Thank you for being my crazy parents, I wouldn't trade you for the world. I love you forever and ever.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
