An Open Letter to my Future Child

Becoming a mom is something I've always wanted...

An Open Letter to my Future Child

I've always loved children. And in fact, children have always (usually) loved me back. From a young age I couldn't picture myself never becoming a parent in my life. It was something everybody always said to me too. "You're going to be a good mom some day you know!" And I hope they're all right.

I may not have always taken care of myself to perfection, but I promise I will do the best that I can for you. I may not always know exactly what to do, and I surely will be asking my own mother for help with you. But I will try my hardest. You will never have to feel like you aren't loved, or cared for, because I will always be your biggest cheerleader.

Promise me one thing, that you won't feel like I'm against you forever. That you will feel that you can confide in me and develop yourself with me. I had the most luck in the world with my mother. She taught me right from wrong, while letting me have fun and experience life as it came. And I want to do the same for you.

I only hope that you can appreciate and love our bond as much as I will. As much as even now, long before I know this will happen for us, that I know I do.

To my future child, thank you for coming into my life and blessing me with the honor of being your mother.

I love you.

Love,

Me.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
