A Letter to My Super-Mom
Peter Liavas

Dear Mom,

I have no idea where to begin, but I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for doing everything that you do. It is amazing to see how strong, caring and loving someone can be. If a Super-Mom existed then it would definitely be you. Thank you for sitting through all my hockey practices and traveling to all my games. Thank you for wiping the tears off my face every time I fell outside and scraped my knee. Thank you for teaching me how to appreciate all I have in life. Thank you for showing me the value of a dollar and for making me work hard for the things I want in life. Thank you for teaching me how to stop on both sides of my feet on the ice. Thank you for being the cool mom who jams out to the latest hits on the radio. Thank you for allowing me to learn from my mistakes and for teaching me not to repeat them. Thank you for making my lunches in the morning. Thank you for showing me my love for '80s music. Thank you for the pale white skin that gets burnt easily. Thank you for driving everyone around after school, even though you were tired from a long day at work.

The list goes on and on. You have done so much for me in my life, and I hope one day I am able to thank you for that. I have no idea how you do everything that you do. You are courageous, smart, welcoming and understanding. I know I was not the easiest kid to deal with when I was younger, but I am thankful that you did not give up in me. You have taught me a lot of things that have made life easier while being away at school. It is hard being away from the family, but I am glad I get to bother you on the phone while you are at work. I know one day it will all be worth it. Thank you for allowing me to be your son.

Love always,

Your firstborn troublemaking son, Peter

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!)
