No one understands you like your family.
Jessica Carnivale

Family is there for you through the thick and thin. If you are anything like me I wouldn't be where I am without them. I am so thankful for all of them and can gladly call them my family and best friends.

No one gets you quite like your family

Jessica Carnivale

Only the people you have grown up with and have lived with really understand you. Once you have lived with someone they know all about you. All of your quirks and things you don't even realize you do they see them and love you for it.

They know exactly what you need

Sometimes you might not even know what you need but there's a good chance your family knows.

They're not afraid to hurt your feelings

Typically your family doesn't use a filter around you. While it might be a little blunt it's what you need to hear. Your friends might be afraid to hurt your feelings, but your family can be real with you and know you'll still love them.

They've been there since the beginning

From vacation to everyday life they are always there.

This one is quite obvious but really they have been there for you since the beginning. Your family has watched you mature and grow into where you are today and they will continue to be there for you.

They are always looking out for your best interest

They know what is best for you and are going to do whatever they need to do to help you reach your full potential.

They know what is good for you

Sometimes we don't know what is good or bad for us but our families can see before we can. Odds are your mom can pick out your fake friends before you can. If your family doesn't like a significant other or friend there's probably a good reason why.

Odds are they're a lot like you

They help you reach your goals and motivate you.

Jessica Carnivale

Because families spend so much time together your interest are probably similar. It might be your favorite sport or favorite spot to shop or just about anything in between, there's a good chance your family members agree.

They know if there is something wrong

It's hard to hide your emotions from your family. You spend so much time together that they can tell when something is off or if there is something you don't want to share.

They don't judge you

Rather than passing judgment, your family tries to help you with your issues. Judging a family member is like judging yourself, it just doesn't make sense.

They love you unconditionally

The share similar interest and help you get to where you want to be.

Jessica Carnivale

Your family is a part of you and they love you no matter what. No strings attached they are always there for you and you will always be there for them.

Your family members are always looking for you. Believe it or not they usually know what is best for you before you do. So remember to thank them for what they do for you and look out for them too!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
