Dear Mom,

Dear Mom,

“Everything I am, you helped me to be.”

I don’t tell you enough how thankful I am for you. I wouldn’t be the person I am without you, so thank you. I know I don’t always thank you for the things you do and I need to more.

Thank you for texting me back and answering my calls no matter what time of day. No matter if I need to cry, rant, or just tell you about my day I know you’ll always listen and give me advice. You always make me feel better when I’m down.

Thank you for telling me your opinion even though sometimes I don’t think it’s right.I value it and I always think about it when a situation arises.I’m so glad I have someone I can always ask for advice whenever or wherever.I don’t know what I would do without you.

Thank you for always making sure I’m taken care of. You always make sure if I need gas I have it, especially since that one time I decided to drive on “E.” You always make sure I am fed, and when I’m sick, you make sure I get better. You spent years cleaning my uniforms. I know that was hard because they were covered in grass stains and dirt from the field.

Thank you for raising me to be strong. Mom, you showed how to have adversity in tough situations. You showed to never give up or quit. You showed me how to work through my problems and solve any new ones that I may encounter. You are the strongest women I know and you have taught me so much.

Thank you for always listening. You always give me a shoulder to cry on. You always listen to my problems and make me feel better. Thank you for listening to me rant about something that happened during my day. I know sometimes my stories I tell you can be too long, but you never complain. You always listen to the whole thing.

Thank you for always finding the things I have lost. I don’t know if it is a mom thing or not, but even after I have searched the whole house for something I lost, you find it. For example, I can never find my work shirt, and after searching and searching I tell you it is gone forever. Then you proceed to find It within seconds.

I know we may fight and argue. I know we may not agree on clothing choices, or other things sometimes but I know you will always love me unconditionally and I will always love you too. I know sometimes you think you aren’t doing your best but I want to tell you that you are. You always do your best and I cannot thank you enough for everything you do and have done.I can’t put it into words how important you are in my life. Thank you so much for every single thing you do. I love 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.

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.

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!)
