A Bittersweet Goodbye To My Summer Co-Workers

Thanks for making work not so bad.

To my fellow co-workers,

I want to start off by saying thank you for making this summer bearable, even somewhat fun at times. I went into this summer with high hopes, and although it definitely wasn't the summer I wanted it to be, I'm so grateful I had you guys right there with me.

Getting up at 6:30 am every day was definitely not my favorite part of the day by any means, but you guys made it worth it. Even if I came in dreading having to be there, you managed to put a smile on my face and make me laugh.

Kids are tiring, this is a known fact. Having to watch them and take care of them is our job, and I never left not feeling exhausted. But there were the good times where we would laugh and play and make the most out of us all being tired. If we are tired and not feeling it, might as well be together, right?

You guys are honestly some of my favorite people, and you've taught me so much. Every day I go to work, I get excited to see you all and hear about your lives and learn more about you. I also love our group chat and know that we will keep it going even after we all head our separate ways for the fall.

Thank you guys for making my summer a lot less boring, and for not just being my co-workers, but also my friends. I'll miss you a lot when I go back to school, but I know you're both only a phone call or text away if I need anything. I'll see y'all in December!

Love,

Allison

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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!)
