To My Grandparents

The support system of our family

To My Grandparents

You're both hilarious. You are constantly making everyone in the family laugh with the way you bicker and pick on each other. You remind us that we really do love each other, even when we struggle with that. You are the center of our family, whether you know it or not.

There is no one else in the family like the two of you. You've been through so much together and you're still holding each other up. You hold up our entire family, no matter what we're going through. The two of you are the foundation that our family has grown on and continues to stand on.

But you're not just the foundation. Somehow, you support us and stand with us at the same time. I marvel at the two of you. You do the impossible. You've managed to hold our family together and even when we were torn apart for a little while you stood next to everyone, gently reminding us that we are better standing together than we are apart.

You're relationship has made you stronger. That's how you can constantly hold our family together. One day I want a relationship just like yours. I want to bicker and pick at and be independent, but still have someone to crawl into bed with at the end of the day and say "I love you" to - and mean it.

I know I'm not the only one in our family who feels this way about you both, but I was thinking about how little we tell you that we appreciate you. You both go out of your way to take care of everyone in our family, even when you don't have to. We are your priority, I can see it in every decision you make.

I think that I can speak for the entire family when I say, we love you. There will never be any one else in the world like the two of you and I wouldn't want it any other way. You are both so special. I will never be able to put into words how much you both mean to me and to the rest of our family, but I thought I'd try.

Thank you so much for everything that you do. We know that you love us and I want you both to know that we love you too.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
