We love you.

Dear Baby Sussex,

While you do not have a name, I am so excited you are here. The whole world has been waiting to meet you after 10 months of being in your mummy's tummy. I wanted to write you a few things even though you may never see this. You have the sweetest parents who are raising you the way they are to bring normality into your life. You are the nephew of the future King of England, so, of course, being in the spotlight can seem like a lot of pressure. However, soon it will be normal enough for you, but it must be hard. Hard to not want to go out alone and constantly have people talking and writing about you.

I know you will have a successful and meaningful life.

Your parents apparently want to give you a sense of normality so you understand how the world really is. Your mother came from humble roots on the opposite coast of America than I was from. Believe in what you want to believe in and find causes meaningful to your heart. It could be on kids, the Alzheimer's Association, clean water for everyone, education...the possibilities are endless.

You will be a cute baby — well, all babies are sort of cute, to be honest. You are going to be such a style icon for babies. In the future when I have kids, perhaps I will look to you for style inspiration. After all, your parents have amazing style. On a personal note, enjoy childhood because it goes by fast and it never comes back. Also, enjoy privacy because the world loves you and will write all about you. I'm so happy your parents live in an enclosed home and want to give you privacy. I couldn't imagine living in a home where I felt trapped and like I was always being watched. Best of luck in life.

Sincerely,

Your American fans

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!)
