To my future daughter

Dear future daughter,

34
To my future daughter

I hope you don't lay awake at night, wondering why you're not enough. I hope you don't ever cry yourself to sleep because some boy is too stupid to see how amazing you really are. I hope one day, you get to see how I see you. Strong, beautiful, and independent. I know things get rough. I know you don't understand why you're here or what your purpose in life is, but trust me. You'll figure it out. I can tell you one thing, it's not to sit around and cry over some mean girls who are completely irrelevant to you. It's not to sit and miss out on life because a boy isn't texting you back. No. Your life is meant to be fun and adventurous. Your life is to be young and full of stories for when you're still old. I hope you never have unpleasant thoughts. I hope you never wonder if anyone loves you at all. And let me tell you, even when the world seems against you, you will always have me. You will always have your family. No matter what. Life gets tough, but darlin so are you. Keep your head up. Don't let anyone push you down. Walk with confidence, and I assure you, God will help you weed out the good and the bad in your life. If, for whatever reason, you can't put your trust into someone, ALWAYS put your trust in God. He will show you the correct way every single time. You just have to listen to Him and watch the signs He gives you. Baby girl, you got this. No matter what curve ball life throws, you'll hit a home run. Keep you're head up baby. Mommy loves you oh so much.

Love always,

Momma

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?

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.

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!)
