7 Important Reasons You Should Appreciate Your Family
Anne Good

Family is the best thing that God gave you. They are always there for you and are always on your side. Making memories with your family is the best thing to look back on when there are some bumps in the road.

Don’t be ashamed of your family, even if you think they are weird at times, they will always be your family no matter what. Appreciate your family every time you can, you never know what life is going to bring you.

1. They are always there for you.

My family is there for me no matter what. Through my bad decisions and my good decisions even when I decided to go 1,775.2 miles away for college. My family is such a blessing and they are always there for me even when they need to come rescue me from a bad decision.

2. They love you for who you are.

My family loves me for who I am and that makes life even better. I do not have to be different around my family like many people feel they have to be different around their friends and family. They love me for all the little things I do that are weird or funny. Having a family who loves me for who I am helps encourage me to be who I am and to not try to be someone else.

3. They support you through everything.

Knowing my family fully supports me through everything is such a great thing especially since I am in a completely different state than them for college. They are on my side even though we are far away from each other. They always support my decisions even if they do not fully understand my thinking or do not agree completely with me.

4. They provide for you.

A major thing to appreciate my family for is providing for me. Ever since I was little, my parents have been working hard to provide food, clothes, a roof over our heads, toys, and college tuition. As both my parents work hard every day at their jobs, they work hard for my sisters and I.

5. They raise you to be the best you can be.

My parents have taught me from a young age that I always have the ability to be the best I can be. They have taught me so many things like working hard, having a good attitude, finishing something that I start and trying my best at everything. Knowing these skills helps me to achieve being the best I can be.

6. They laugh with you and make memories.

Whether it is my sister making a joke or doing something funny, we are always laughing and making memories at my house. Being able to make memories with my family makes being away from my family easier since I can look forward to seeing them and making more memories. Even if I am having a bad day, I can always reminisce about old memories and my day will get better.

7. They will always be your family no matter what.

My family will always be my family no matter what comes between us. I will always love them and talk to them even if I do not live close to them. Family is very important to me and it always will be.

Always having someone to talk to or hang out with when you do not want to leave the house on a Friday night is just a plus about being so close with your family. It's like I have built in best friends at home!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
