An Open Letter To My Mother For Mother's Day
Hanover Tavern

Mom,

I cant even begin to thank you for all you have done for me. If I did not have the love and support you have given me throughout the years, I know I would not be the person I am today. For that I thank you. I know that even though we are apart, you still love me, and know that I still love you. This one is for you, Mom. Happy Mother's day, and thank you for all you have done for me.

Here are some of the many reasons why I love you, and I know you love me.

1. First off, I wouldn't be here without you, literally, I would not be here. Thanks for bringing me into this world, by the way.

2. When life gets crazy or complicated, you are the glue that holds our family together.

3. When life gets so stressful that I forget who I am, you are always there to remind me. You're my biggest supporter.

4. You still have my arts and crafts projects, even the "not so great" ones.

5. You have taught me how to master "the look."

6. You put others before yourself, and have bestowed that value upon me. This is something I am forever grateful for.

7. You did not abandon me during my super long "awkward phase."

8. You have shown support for me in all of my endeavors and encourage me to follow my dreams.

9. Even when you were upset with me I knew you still loved me.

10. You have been one of my best friends from day one.


Mom, there are not enough words that I can find to thank you enough for all you have done, and continue to do for me. I wish you the best Mother's Day, and I hope that your day is as amazing as you are.

Love always,

Your Thankful Child

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
