To My Parents

Mom and Dad,

As the rest of my life approaches, there are some things I need you to know. Although I will never be able to truly express how much love and appreciation I have for the two of you, I will try my best here..

1. I'm sorry for all of the times I have been (and will be) incredibly frustrating and hard to deal with.

I know that raising me has not always been easy. From my short temper and my sassy mouth, to my sometimes lazy attitude, I can only imagine just how frustrating I can be to you two sometimes.

2. You two are the most important people in my life.

I know that as I've grown up, I've made new friends who have become family, and because of that, gained new families to add into my heart. Although this is true, I hope the two of you never forget that the two of you are my best friends. I could not do life without the two of you.

3. Thank you for your unconditional love and support.

I am so thankful to say that no matter what it is that I go through in this life, I know that you two will ALWAYS be standing in my corner. Even when I'm so scared to disappoint you or anger you, you both always end up showing me that you'll love me no matter what. Neither of you have EVER given up on me, and that on its own makes me so grateful.

4. No matter where I go and who I become, I will always call YOU home.

As my 18th birthday, high school graduation, and the start of the rest of my life comes near, I know that it's scaring you guys (even if you don't want to admit it.) However, I hope you two know that I will never go too far.

5. The two of you are truly my heroes.

As a family we have been through so much over the years, and we've all dealt with so much. Throughout all of it I watched the two of you stay so strong despite of the pain, just for us. You've both always put yourselves second for me and the rest of our family. I know none of us tell you enough, but I am so unbelievably grateful for EVERYTHING.

Like I said, I will never fully be able to express everything to you two, but I really hope that you know I love you beyond words and I would not and could not be who I am today without you. Thank you for raising me so well and for showing me so much love, compassion, and joy. Never forget how much I appreciate you.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
