To My College Friends

God knew what He was doing when He brought y'all into my life.

To my college friends;

How I ever lived without you is beyond me. You have become a huge part of my life in just a few short months. I tell you things that I would not tell my closest friends at home. Our bonds are unbreakable.

They have always said you will meet some of you best friends in college, but I did not believe them. I thought I had all the friends I needed. I have always been a homebody but college was a chance for me to become who I was supposed to be.

Going to a college five hours from home was difficult at first. The first week flew by considering it was recruitment week for the sororities. But even after I joined my home away from home I was not sure if Kentucky was the place for me. I started classes and saw some girls around I said hey to but no real friendships. I began to feel homesick. I did not want to go home because I felt something here. Deep down I knew UK was a special place and I had to give myself a chance.

I forced myself out of my comfort zone and started meeting girls. These girls mean more to me than I ever imagined they would. As soon as these connections started, they did not stop.

Thank you. You have made me feel more at home than I ever have. I do not even have to ask and you know what I need. You know when I’m annoyed and just need to be left alone. You know when I’m upset and know to keep quiet. You know I do not like hugs but always insist on hugging me anyways.

Thank you for being real.
Thank you for accepting me for my weird self and being just as weird as I am.
Thank you for letting me talk your ear off about some boy.
Thank you for letting me have a little too much fun some nights!!!
Thank you for assisting my assignments when I am in tears because I cannot take one more day of college.
Thank you for getting me ready for a boy that does not deserve my attention.
Thank you for the late nights. Late nights where we can go from heartfelt conversation to what we are going to eat for dinner tomorrow.
Thank you for letting me vent about my crazy life. And most of all thank you for your constant support.

You all mean the world to me.

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?

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.

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!)
