Thank you for all the roles you have fulfilled.

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

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
