To My Best Friend

Thank you so much for everything you do for me.

To My Best Friend
Kerri Wilkins

To my best friend,

It seems like I've known you my whole life. When in fact you walked into my life when I didn't think I needed you. I have had so many friends walk in and out of my life, but I know you never will. I don't think I can express how much you mean to me or how much you have impacted me for the better.

Everything about you is so amazing and genuine.

You love unconditionally. No matter what the situation is I know you have my back and I know you will love me no matter what. You make everyone around you feel so special even if it comes at your own expense and that is so very rare to find in a person.

You are one of the funniest people I have known. There are very few people who understand my sense of humor, but you are one of them. You always are someone I can count on to put a smile on my face, even if I'm having the worst day of my life.

You make me so proud with all your accomplishments. You should be so proud of everything that you have done in your life. You deserve all the credit you get for everything you do.

You accept my craziness, my uncontrollable laugh and my clumsiness whereas other people would just stare and laugh. Our inside jokes would seem weird to others but when you say them I can't hold back my laughter.

You help me with so much. No matter if it's school, stress, or everyday life you're the one I go to for advice. You never judge me for the mistakes I've made and you see past my insecurities. Without you I honestly don't know how I could make it through the week because you always manage to keep me going down the right track. I love that you take time out of your day to see how I'm doing, even if it's just a simple text.

You bring out the best version of me. You have such high standards for yourself and for me. Whenever I begin to crash or want to give up, you bring me right back to where I was before. And you do it in the most gentle way possible. You never make me feel lesser to anyone and you always understand where I'm coming from.

You live your life through Christ. Although I'm not the most religious person, you never force your faith on me but you encourage me to go down the right path. Your love for God is something that both inspires me and makes me challenge my own faith.

You see the world through only positive eyes. You never have anything negative to say about anyone or anything. Even if you are feeling let down or in the dumps about someone you only see the good in them. It's so refreshing to see that someone in the world can view things like you do and it gives me hope that there are more people like you.

My life forever changed when I met you. I can't wait to see where our friendship goes and where we will both end up. Somehow I know that even when we're miles apart you will always be there for me. You never cease to amaze me with everything that you do. And I am so beyond grateful and blessed that I have you for a best 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?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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.

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!)
