Dear Mom And Dad, As Told By The Office

For the two most important individuals in my life

Dear Mom And Dad, As Told By The Office
Frank Mckenna

Dear Mom and Dad,

Thank you for showing me that true love really does exist.

Thank you for bailing me out when I am strapped for cash (which happens quite often)

And taking care of me when I was hurt


You let me take dance classes even though I was a terrible dancer and still am.

You cheered for me at sporting events even when I got last place.

You made sure I didn't just eat a bunch of junk food.

You put up with my over-competitiveness during board games

Thank you for listening to all of my incessant talking

And all around general weirdness

These past four years away from home have been incredibly difficult and incredibly rewarding. I never would have gotten to where I'm at without either of you. You taught me how to be a good person and respectful to all walks of life. You brought me down to Earth when I got stuck on one of my crazy ideas and you've never stopped loving me no matter what I've done. I cannot wait to have kids someday and see you become amazing grandparents. I love you more than anything in this whole world and there are not enough words to tell you how thankful I am to have had you as parents. Thank you.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
