An Open Letter To My Godmother
Hanna Hess

If many of you were as lucky as I was, you were given the blessing of having a godmother in your life.


To my godmother:

Thank you for every role you have fulfilled. You have been a mom, a friend, a confidant, an aunt, and a caregiver. You watched over me and protected me like I was your own. You opened your home to me at any point in time, even if it was a moments notice. You let me indulge in things I wasn't allowed to have unlimited amounts of at home. You even let me try soda for the first time!

You were a friend when I needed it most. You would go to movies with me, have me over and watch TV with me, go shopping with me, and so much more. You became a shoulder to cry on as I grew older and went through many life circumstances. You are someone I can always trust.

You know almost everything about me, as a mother would with their natural child. You can listen to someone so carefully and concerning.

We are family. We are not blood-related, but our bond is thicker. You have embraced me at my highs and lows, and for that I am eternally grateful. You are my mom's sister by bond, not blood. You are my family by love.

You always jumped right in when I needed to be taken care of or watched over. You have taken me on when I was sick, sad, happy, or mad. You know my favorite things, favorite shows, favorite hobbies, my likes and dislikes. You were always a phone call away when I needed something, and still are.

Thank you for helping my mom and dad raise me. So many memories are shared with you. You're loving, goofy, warm, open-hearted, and a softy. Thank you for being you, and for blessing me from the day I was born as my godmother. I only hope my future children have a godmother as cool as you.

Love,

Your (un)biological child

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
