A Letter To My Parents

No love is greater than mom's love and no care is greater than a dad's care.

A Letter To My Parents

Dear Mom and Dad,

I know that I have not been a perfect child by no means, but you have taught me an abundance of life lessons. We disagree on a lot of things and argue over every little thing in the world. I know it may seem like I could care less to be around you or even talk to you, but that’s far from true. We may fuss and fight and go at each other’s throats a lot, but there is absolutely no other people I would rather have as parents than you guys.

You have been there for me and supported me in everything I have ever done. You guys are my biggest support system. I know I don’t tell you this enough but thank-you for everything. Thank- you for pushing me to do my best in school, sports, and in life. Thank-you for being a loving Christian family. Without you, I don’t know what I would do!

You guys are my biggest inspiration and role models. Mom, you work so hard to be a loving mother while juggling school and work. You are dedicated to not only bettering yourself but bettering our lives as well. Dad, you are the backbone of our family, without you nothing would be possible. You work long hard hours to provide for us. You work hard to ensure that we will be able to have a better life. You guys inspire me to be better and to see the good in people. I am who I am because of you two.

I love you guys more than anything. I am beyond blessed to have such God loving parents. I am blessed to have parents that would rather lift people up and be there friend than to tear them down. I know our family may not be perfect in societies eyes, but in mine, there is nothing more perfect. You guys are the best and I am honored to be able to say that I am your daughter. I love you guys more than you will ever know.

Sincerely,

Your grateful daughter!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
