To My Future Niece Or Nephew

7 months.

To My Future Niece Or Nephew

Dear future niece or nephew,

I know we only found out about you just a few days ago, but I've already been spending my nights laying in bad imagining the day I get to meet you. 7 months until you'll be here. 7 months until I get to hold you in my arms for the very first time. 7 months until I get to be an aunt.

I want you to know that I will always be someone you can come to. For anything and everything. Whether you've had too much to drink at that party you didn't even want to go to, or that stupid boy in your math class breaks your heart, I will always be a constant friend.

When your dad is being stubborn, and trust me, I know how he can be, and you need to get away, my door will always be open.

When you fail that test you didn't study enough for and you're too scared to tell your parents, trust me when I say they're going to be okay with it, because they've been there before too.

I've looked forward to the day I get to meet you before you were even a thought in the back of your dad's mind, and I cannot wait to meet you in July.

These next 7 months better go by fast.

Love,

Aunt Molly

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?

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
