A Letter To My Gramma And Oppa

Not All Heroes Wear Capes

A Letter To My Gramma And Oppa
Rosemary Clark

For the most part, I'm a self sufficient person who doesn't require a lot of help. But when I do, there are two faces that I can always count on to be there no matter what: my grandparents. My Gramma and Oppa are prime examples that not all heroes wear capes. They are nothing less than my knights in shining armor. So I'm going to attempt to thank them, even though I will never be able to express into words how grateful I am for them.

Dear Gramma and Oppa,

From the day I was born, you two were there. On days I can't even remember, you were there. So many of my first memories were spent in your house with you. Watching cartoons and eating silly-shaped pancakes while laying on the floor. Or fishing with Oppa and learning how to bait my own hook. There are so many memories from my childhood that involve the two of you. You guys would watch me while my mom worked and let me stay over every day that I possibly could. I couldn't imagine a better childhood than the moments I was able to spend with the two of you.

Even as I've gotten older, I've still needed you just as much, if not more. You're both always there to rescue me. Sometimes, it was taking me to work after my accident or getting me food that would be easy on my stomach after an ulcer had me in the hospital, or in being there at 3 a.m. when an exam had me in a full blown panic attack. You even took in my cat when my plan to have him live with me fell through. No matter what crisis I am in, I know you two will be there. Just a week ago you both came to my rescue when my car wasn't playing nice.

And even though I'm doing pretty well for myself, I still need you guys here and there. I'm not sure what I would do without the best grandparents in the world. I know I tell you guys that I'm thankful for all you do and have done, but it still never seems like quite enough. I wish I could give you guys the world or do something to repay you for all your rescues you've done for me and my family because I know you are their heroes too. I love you two more than the world itself and I hope you both know that.

Love always,

Your Granddaughter Sara

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with. I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.
