Family Is The Best Support System A Girl Could Ask For.

Family keeps you grounded. Whenever I am feeling lost, upset, lonely, broken, or so many other emotions, they are here to ground me and fill me with love

Too many times I get caught up in my busy life and forget what truly matters. It takes one visit home or one phone call to my sister to remind me what it is I am working towards.

Sometimes I forget why I work full work weeks and go to school full time. Sometimes I start to wonder why I work multiple internships. Life can get difficult whenever you have a full schedule and feel like half of it has nothing to show. But my family is always there to remind me what I’m working towards.

They are the ones who keep me grounded and keep me pushing towards my goals. Everyone needs that person who tells them “you can do this” or “this is why you ARE doing this”.

Because let’s be honest, life is tough. Life knows how to break you and then shake you once you’re already down. There is no denying that without a strong support system, of some sort, in some way, we would not survive.

A simple drive back to my hometown and pulling through my driveway brings me so much relief. Knowing my family awaits me inside those small town lines gives me hope. Knowing they are there to support me, ask about my endeavors, and guide me through this crazy thing called life is what keeps me sane.

Without my family, I would be completely and utterly lost. They know me better than anyone else in this world. Sometimes I feel like they know me, better than I know me. They help me sort out my emotions and deal with them properly.

Without my support system, without my Family, I would not survive this world. I would not survive my world. I am forever loving and forever grateful for their constant love and support to get me through this life.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
