Dear Granny,

Thank you. Thank you for everything. Literally everything. Thank you for blasting old school tapes while driving to church on Sundays in your Ford Explorer with the red interior. Thank you for waiting with me at the bus stop. Thank you for also playing every game I made up while waiting on the bus, including name that tune. Thank you for always putting sugar in my Cheerios, because it literally makes them so much better. Thanks for teaching me that peanuts in your Coke is the best snack. Thank you for supporting me through it all. Singing stuff, school stuff, graduations... You name it, you were there, for me and all your grand babies. Thank you for always cheering on the Dawgs, even though you grew up a Tech fan (ew). Thank you for being the best mom to my mom and thank you for teaching her how to be the best mom for me. Also, thank you for being such a motherly figure to my dad instead of the evil mother-in-law thing that some moms do. Thank you for also teaching me that family is the biggest blessing we have. Thank you for showing me what it's like to love with every ounce of your being. Thank you for simply just being you.

I guess what I am trying to say is, I hope you never feel unappreciated. I know your children and grandchildren all feel this way about you. We all love you with every ounce of our being, because that's how you taught us to love.

We love you to the moon and back Granny!

Love,

Your family

(But written by me)

PS We also thank you for making the best homemade biscuits ever!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
