I guess since I'm bad at this I really don't know where to start.

Goodbyes aren't really my thing and I mean, no one really LIKES goodbyes, but some people handle them better than most. Me, on the other hand, not so much. It's really not even that I can't handle them, I just don't know how to react to them. It's not that I'm an emotional wreck, because I probably won't even shed a tear. But it's not that I'm heartless either, because goodbyes do make me sad. So I guess this is my way of saying goodbye.

I feel like I should start off with a thank you.

Thanks for always being there for me. I'm certain that even when I'm gone you'll continue to be someone that I can lean on, and for that, I'm eternally thankful. I know that I can always trust you with my rants and lean on you when I feel like life is beating me down. Thanks for the constant love and support, I don't think I'd be where I am without you.

It might not seem like it, but I really will miss you more than I could ever explain. I might not cry about it or mention it very often, but know that even if I'm too stubborn to admit it, I'll be lost without you. I'll miss your constant laughter and the endless amount of love that you have for me. I'll miss going on fast food runs more often than we probably should. I'll miss sitting on the couch next to you and binge watching whatever we want. I'll miss praying with you on Sunday mornings and relaxing on Sunday nights. But mostly I'll just miss you. I'll miss the sound of your voice and smile that greets me every time I see you.

But don't forget that I'll be back. Even if I leave now, you'll always be home to me, and I'll always come home. Phone calls will become more frequent and I'll get excited to hear what's going on in your life. At times I'll be stressed and busy, but even when it feels distant, know that I'm not too far away.

I'm really looking forward to this next part of my life, and I'm excited to have you by my side as I go through it.

I know I might make it seem easy, but I know that goodbyes are hard..especially when I'm bad at them. So goodbye from the one who's bad at goodbyes, I'll miss you.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
