To My Guardian Angel

Sometimes a girl's best friend happens to be family.

To My Guardian Angel

Growing up I spent a lot of time with my grandma. She was the definition of super human. No matter who it was she always treated everyone with love and kindness which is something I got from her. I spent a lot of time with her and she was my best friend. I had this bond with her that is hard to understand but her and I could comprehend it perfectly. I think that is why once she passed away I felt there was a gap in my heart but I knew she was still watching over me, as my guardian angel.

To my grandma who I only got to have with me for a short amount of time, I want to thank you for everything. You have had an influence on me that is visible to everyone you knew. I want to thank you for all the hugs and kisses you gave me when I got home from school. You living with us was the best 3 years because I never felt alone because you were always just a room away from me.

It took me a long time to be okay with your passing. I wish you had been there for my sweet sixteen or my prom but I know you seen it all. I had puffy eyes for a long time, but I eventually got used to you being with me in spirit, not physically. It scared me when I thought I forgot what your perfume smelled like, but I remember by getting one of your old sweaters and I feel at ease again.

I hope I am making you proud, that is something I think about every day. I wish we would've had more time together, but God works in mysterious ways. I know I will see you again one day and it will feel like you never left us, but until then i will continue to life live just like you taught me to.

Thank you guardian angel for the many laughs, hugs, and memories. They are something I will hold dear to my heart and things i will cherish and share with my own family. I will always think of you an I may shed a tear time to time but I will always know you are protecting me and watching over me just like you did while you were here with me.

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.
