A Letter To My Hometown Friends
We Heart It

To my hometown friends,

Thank you. There is so much I have to thank you for and I don't even know where to start or what to say because I feel like there is so many things to say. You guys have been the truest friends that I have ever known and I have never met such kind, loyal friends and I am so blessed to have known you guys since I've been a young girl. You guys have seen the best in me and the worst in me as well, but you've always loved me through that. You guys have never in one second in my life made me feel bad about myself or made me question the friendship we have because you have always been uplifting and strive to make me feel good about myself. I only hope you think I've been a good friend back. I love you guys so incredibly much and my heart is filled with so much joy when we talk or I am with you guys.

Being away from all of you in college is so difficult, but the days that we get to Facetime or have a phone call means more than you guys will ever know. You've been an amazing support system even thousand of miles away and I have felt more close with you guys than anyone in physical close proximity to me. There is never a moment where I'm not laughing or enjoying my time with you all because you guys are really so beautiful - inside and out. I've never met such beautiful souls and you all deserve the world. I hope you all know that. You are all such brilliant, funny, enjoyable people to be around and all I can say is how lucky I feel to know you guys.

You have all seen me in my awkward stages and I've seen you in yours, and I love that and I love that you guys still love me through all my weird stages. It's so rare to stay friends with someone that you have known since elementary or middle school, but you all still are the best part of me. We have come so far and I truly do not think that we will stop being friends because the bond we share is beautiful. Whoever you guys end up with will be the luckiest men in the world to share a life with someone as special as you guys are, and they better know that or I'll give them a nice chat. I know I don't nearly tell you all enough how much I love you guys because sometimes I don't know how to gather my thoughts and words and this is still all so jumbled but I love you guys. I love you all so much. You are the most beautiful people I know, and I hope that if you guys ever feel down that you read this and remember how special you are. Because you are.

Love,

Your friend who appreciates everything you guys do

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
