A letter to my future self

Dear me,

I hope not eating dessert every night has paid off as well as all the hours I have spent in the gym and studying has as well. I hope you are able to come home and relax with a glass of wine after work every so often. Do you wish there are things I shouldn’t have done? Better yet do you wish there are things that I should have done? Are you happy? Do you like your job? I know, I know, it has its downsides but for the majority do you wake up wanting to go or are you in it for the paycheck? Have you travelled a lot? How many cool things have you seen? I hope you have had a lot of moments that make you laugh. Better yet, I hope you have countless stories of amazing times you have had with friends. Speaking of friends, who are they? Are they the same one’s that you have right now? Have you lost a few a long the way? Who are the new people you find very important that I haven’t met yet? How many of your friends have gotten married? Have you gotten married? Are you in love? If so, congrats! If not you still have time and you’ll find whoever the lucky duck is. Are you still a picky eater? Have you done something completely crazy? Have you finally gone skydiving? Do you still go to bed late and hate waking up early? Has your favorite color changed? I hope you have had so many midnight heart to heart moments with your friends. Have you accomplished all the things I wished that you had? What’s still on the list? What new goals have you set? I hope very little sadness has crossed your path. I’m sure some has and I’m sorry for that but remember that it is only making you appreciate the amazing things that have occurred in your life already and are still to come. I hope you remember that it is only making you a stronger better person. I hope don’t stop singing, dancing, laughing, and loving ever. By now you probably find this note to be cheesy and ridiculous but I hope it has made you think and look back over your life and still look toward the future. I hope you stop worrying so much about life and be better at living in the moment and remember that you are loved.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
