Being A Military Child: A Story Told Through Gifs
Maddi Powers Facebook

Being the child of a military parent is rough, but someone's gotta do it. At the end of the day, it's not THAT bad, and all of my fellow military children get it.

1. Turning 10 and getting your first military ID



2. Losing your military ID

3. Trying to count all of the schools you've attended


4. Where are you from?


5. What does your dad do, exactly?


6. “Your appointment is at 1300” “We're leaving at 0800” “Be home by 0100"


7. When someone says something negative about the military not knowing where you come from


8. Military Discounts


9. Being outside on base at 4:59 PM


10. When you say you were born in Germany and someone asks you how you’re an American


11. When other kids complain about their parents’ two-week business trips

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
