An Open Letter to the People I Coudn't Live Without

To my favorite human beings,

I know I don’t remind you often enough how much of a blessing you are in my life. Maybe when we were created, God lined up our paths and destined us to be a part of each other’s lives. Or maybe he threw you into my family and now you’re stuck with me (there’s no getting out of that one!) No matter the circumstance, you are such a vital part of my world. You’ve dealt with all the crazy I’ve ever thrown your way and you’ve been with me this long. I couldn’t be any more thankful for you.

You’re my support when I need it. I know that no matter what, if I ever need something you’ll be the one I call. I know you’ll be there for me and I’ll always be here for you. You’re the one that is there to listen despite how trivial the matter or how many times you have repeatedly offered me the same advice. Sometimes all I need is for someone to listen and I know you will. You’re my rock that keeps me steady and a constant in my life I can always count on.

You’re the person in my best memories and funniest stories. You’ve experienced the greatest times of my life with me and you made those times even better. Nothing can take back or replace the time we’ve spent together or how much it means to me. We have so many memories that without you I don’t know what else I would have spent my time doing. We grew up together and in ways you grew into parts of who I am today. You’re the first person I want to call to spend my free time with and add to our ever growing list of adventures.

We’ve been through it all together. In every celebration and every setback, you were there for me. We’ve made it through more than a couple of fights and we’ve come out stronger than we were before. You’ve heard my whole story and probably know me better than I know myself. Through hell and back, we’ve been there and we’re still going.

If I lost you, I honestly could not tell you what I would do; I would be beyond broken. You’re the person I know I can fall back on and without you, I would be perpetually falling. If I lost you, I would lose an even bigger, irreplaceable part of myself.

You’re the person I couldn’t imagine life without. You’re my partner in crime, the one I wanna roll around in the nursing home with, and the one I want standing beside me on my wedding day. You’re my go-to, my number one, my ride-or-die. Thank you for being you. I know I don’t tell you enough but you’re the best I’ve got and I couldn’t ask for anything better. No matter what happens in this life, at least we have each other and I can always count on that, which is more than good enough for me.

Sincerely,

Your forever grateful friend

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?

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!)
