Momma and Daddy,

I don't even know where to begin but this letter is one written to encompass all of the fear that fills my heart and mind as the first half of my senior year of high school starts to come to a close. I couldn't imagine making it this far and making it this well without the support of you two right beside me the whole way. You've made me the girl I am today and I couldn't be any luckier to have you two as the ones to thank.

Daddy,

Daddy, you are my rock always. When I fear the worst you are always there to give me a word of encouragement, whether you believe it might be true or not, you know it will help your baby get through whatever rough patch it is. You made me a princess from the day I was born and have always made sure that I knew you thought I was beautiful. Daddy, you are the strength that I need when I can't seem to find it in myself. I know that you will always be there to hug me when I feel broken, which seems to be a common feeling for me. Daddy I'm having a hard time facing growing up because i never want to not be your baby girl and be at home for you to comfort me when i'm upset. I love you more and you are my favorite daddy in the whole wide world of daddies.

Momma,

Momma you have shaped me into the woman i am becoming everyday. I take after you in so many ways and I wouldn't trade that for the world. Without you, I wouldn't be sane (or at least partially sane) today. You are my rock and you help me try to understand my struggles daily. I could not have made it through my teenage years without you by my side. I wouldn't trade you and your love for anything. I know you will always be one call away but i'm surely not ready for you to not be right across the house when I can't sleep or have a terrible dream! I love you bunches and I'm so happy to call you my mom!

Y'all,

This is just a small thank you for all the many years of hard work you've put in to parenting me. I know I haven't been easy to raise, especially these past few years, but I am so glad y'all were the ones to do it! You are the ones to lead me to the Lord and show me to put him first while also showing me how to live my life for him. I am so grateful for you two and your huge hearts! I couldn't be any more proud of the parents that I have been blessed with! I love you both more than you could ever know.

Love always,

Your baby girl

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
