A Letter To My Younger Cousins Before I Leave For College

Starting at the time I am writing this letter, I have 15 days until I leave for college. Meaning, I will not see you cuties until at least Thanksgiving. I know I don't get to see you a lot as it is, but knowing there is no family party we will all be at together until Thanksgiving is just plain sad. What am I going to do without seeing your infectious smiles and your silly performances? Even though I will not be around to see those things, promise me you will keep them up for the family to enjoy! I hope you like the small little blurbs I have included for each of you.

Summer, you never cease to amaze me! You are so beyond beautiful and I can not believe you are almost as tall as me at 11 years old. You shine at everything you do, whether it is scoring goals on the soccer field, running up and down the basketball court, or horseback riding with all the gorgeous horses. While I'm gone, stay your sassy little precious self and never let anyone dull your sparkle! (p.s. feel free to text or call me whenever you want!)

Hudsen, you are by far the coolest 10-year old I know! Your football skills are out of this world and you are such an incredible artist, it is mind-blowing. I have saved every drawing you and your siblings have made for me and I can not wait to hang my favorite shark one up in my dorm. I love talking about all things sharks and Star Wars with you and I love that you can talk about them for HOURS! Don't break too many hearts in 5th grade, kiddo.

Max, how do I even begin??? Your hugs could bring world peace! Soon enough though, you're going to be the one picking me up instead because you are growing up too darn fast. You are the most athletic 6-year old I have ever met and you and your brother always have the coolest hairstyles. Not to mention the skateboard skills you acquired in literally one day, very impressive! Every time your mom sends a picture of you, my heart melts into a puddle of goo. That cute little smile can melt ANYONE'S heart!!! I'm already counting down the days until I get my "Max hug" on Thanksgiving. Keep your radiant energy!

I can't thank you enough for all the smiles you have put on my face. I will always remembered the night I came to your house after having a terrible day and after being with the three of you for less than 10 minutes, all my problems seemed to disappear. You guys had no idea, but that night meant the world to me. Well, now that I have cried all over my laptop, it's time to wrap up this very sappy letter! All three of you are incredibly cute little balls of sunshine. I'm gonna miss your cute faces, butI guess being sent pictures and videos are just going to have to do (hint family) until I see all of you when I'm home. I love you three to infinity and beyond! Stay silly, munchkins :)

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
