No matter how much we fight, in the end we will always be here for each other.

An Open Letter To My Mom
Hayleigh Hall

Dear Mom,

As I have gotten older and moved away to college, I know I have not been around as much as I used to be. I'm always doing homework, studying or with my boyfriend. Even though I have moved away I want you to know that I love you, even if I do not show it or say it very often. You've always been someone that I could come to in my time of need or my shoulder to cry on when I've always needed it. You have been a valuable part of my life and I just want you to know that I love you.

Next, I want to say thank you. Thank you for always being there when I've needed you. It has always been nice to know that you are only a call away. Thank you for always listening to the countless drama between me and my friends. Thank you for being supportive of my college career. Thank you for the late night movie nights and the taco nights. You mean so much to me and I know that I often do not prove it. I hope as I get older you will be able to forgive me for all of the attitudes and smart remarks.

Lastly, I want to say I'm sorry for all of the attitudes I have taken out on you. I'm sorry for all of the times I have let you down. I'm sorry for all the times I have fought with you. I never meant to lash out when I was in a bad mood or ignore you when you've tried to talk to me.

I want you to know that you will always be an important person in my life. You have always told me you would be there for me and I hope that will never change. I hope I make you very proud in everything I do throughout my life. Even though or relationship may change, it does not mean it will change in a bad way. In the future I hope to become a mother and I want you to know that I have learned many things from you that will hopefully make me a wonderful mother too.

Love you to the moon and back.

Love,

Your daugter

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!)
