I hope you are enjoying the adult world.

A Letter To Future Me.
Odyssey

Dear me,

I hope when you read this, you are happy and have your life kind of figured out. If you are reading this, that means that life is going good for you (hopefully). I am writing this to make sure that everything turned out okay for you, and a chance for you to look back on the past you.

When you are having a bad day, remember all the funny times you had during your college years. Remember sharing a room with two other people for your first two years of college. Remember how you guys would stay up until the crack of dawn just talking about your life leading up to college. Or how different each other's family background is, or how scared all of us was to start freshman year at college. Remember how much Ramen you guys ate when you were too lazy to walk to get food.

When you are sitting at your big girl job, remember the road that you took to get there. Remember when you changed your major two weeks before going back to school Junior year. Remember that success doesn't have a straight path. Life takes you crazy places, but in the end it will pay off. Remember you need to have some falls to get to the highs.

When and if you get married, remember who taught you how to love. Remember those times you watched your parents show love to each other. Remember who told you that you don't spell love, you feel it. Actually Winnie The Pooh said that, but remember who encouraged that.

When you are becoming a mom to be, remember who raised you. Remember how your mother raised you to be the best you can be. Remember all the memories your mom made with you, and try to remake the same ones with your future child. Remember to support your child through anything just like how you got support while you were growing up.

I hope you are enjoying the adult world,

Sincerely,

Past you.

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.
