Grammy, I Wish You Were Here For The Adult Years

Every day, I wish you were still here.

Grammy, I Wish You Were Here For The Adult Years

Annie Lipsett

Every day, I wish I could tell you so much. I wish I could tell you how much I miss you, how heartbroken our family is, especially my mom. I'm sure you're not surprised by any of this, but I wish I could tell you. I wish I could tell you everything that's happened since you've passed away.

Where to begin? Well after a terrible junior year, my senior year of high school was a blast. I drove to school every day and got a good part in the play. I went to Disney World on the Senior trip, then went to Europe with my sister on that Theater trip you didn't want us to go on. It was a once in a lifetime experience though and we were totally safe.

I choose the only college I wanted to go to, Towson University. I'm currently in my second year and am studying film. I'm in a film society and a sorority, and through these groups, I've made lifelong friends. My first year of college was a success. I met some wonderful people and really blossomed into an independent young woman.

I've had two boyfriends since you passed. The first one was very kind and treated me well. We went to senior prom together and broke up eventually because he was a sophomore and I was headed to college. The second one I'm currently dating. He is exactly my type: cute, into movies and perfectly nerdy. He is beyond sweet and treats me like a princess. I'm very happy with him. I wish you could meet him, I think you would like him.

There are so many people I've met, experiences I've had that I wish I could tell you all about. I often wonder how you'd feel about them. I wonder how you'd feel about the shape of the world today. I think you would try to find some good amidst all the bad. I know that you would never lose hope.

Every day I wish you were here. Every day I wish I could tell you everything I'm feeling, you always knew exactly what to say. Every day I miss your wit, you warmth, and your magnetic personality. Every day I miss you. Every day I wish I could tell you how much I love you.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
