An Open Letter To My Grandparents
drvc-faith

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

Thank you! I know those two words will never truly amount to the gratefulness I have for you both in my heart, but it's the best and simplest way to put it. Thank you for the love that you gave me. Not only while growing up, but the love you provided me before I existed, the love that you encouraged my parents to have for me, the love that you waited in anticipation about 9 months for...... That love.

Thank you for always supporting me! Even when my parents were not exactly on board with what I wanted to do with my free time (ex: gymnastics, soccer, and even rugby) You didn't question my choices in negativity, you questioned my choices in enthusiasm, and couldn't wait to come support me at my game or match!

As I grew older you always kept your best quality, which was listening. If there is one thing that I can appreciate most is that factor! Whether it was a funny story, asking about school/university, or just hearing my dreams of what I want to do and be in life, you have always sat down and listened well!

I appreciate you both always being the most stable thing in my life! When I come home from college, my routine trips to your house never changed and as I grow older I think that is a constant factor I need to keep in my life.

You make me feel important, you make me feel needed! You are a part of one of the greatest support systems, that made me who I am today!

As I now begin to enter into adulthood, all I was to do is make you proud! Show you that all of the love you gave me did justice in this world.

I love you so much,

Your Loving Grandchild

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
