I wouldn't be here without you!

Mom,

In the dictionary, the term "Mom" is defined as "The woman who loves you unconditionally from birth, the one who puts her kids before herself and the one who you can always count on above everyone else." The accuracy of this definition is crazy!

The one thing I probably will never forget is how much you sacrificed to give me the best life possible. You never failed to get me the supplies for my next two week obsession, which by the way was a waste of time. Just saying mom. Although, you never saw it that way. You helped me figure myself out with the means of trying everything out.

For that, I thank you. I am now a young (almost) adult figuring things out from a distance. Everything you worked so hard to give me has paid off. I'm now a college student hoping that one day in the future, I'll change the world. I honestly would not be here if it wasn't for you.

As we both know, at times I often get lost along this path. I get lost enough that I just want to give up, but I don't. The reason for that is because you have always been there. I know you're probably wishing and hoping that one day, meaning soon, I'll have my life together. Sorry to say, but that will not be soon.

For now, I'm here to reassure you that your sacrifices have not been in vain. I'm here because of you, and I'll make sure to be the best person I can be. I was taught from the best, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

When my career is all set in stone I'll make sure to repay you for your sacrifices. They mean the world to me, so it's only right if you see a piece of the end result. I promise you that I'll take you on the family vacation I have always talked about, and I also promise you to get you the home you deserve. A home that will truly belong to you. I promise you that once I get to where I belong, you'll never have to stress another day in your life because you don't know if you'll have enough money until your next paycheck. I promise you that.

As for now, I really hope you're proud of me. I truly do miss home, but I believe that I was meant to be in this place. I feel like this is where it will all begin. I can only ask that you don't give up on me.

If I didn't have you by my side, I don't know where I would be now. I am honestly extremely lucky to have you as my mom.

I love you, mom.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
