A Love Letter To My Car

I don't know what I would do without you. Thanks for being there.

A Love Letter To My Car
Erin Kron

Although I have only known you for a few years of my life, we share a special connection I could never find with anyone (or anything) else. You’re always there for me when I need you, you carry my weight on your shoulders, you're strong and never break down and you’ve taken me to so many amazing places school never could. When I say I don’t know where I’d be without you, I truly mean it.

When we first met, it was love at first sight. I remember looking out the living room window and there you were. You had just gotten a car wash and a fresh wax, looking handsome as ever. You made your spot on the street your new home as I made a spot for you in my heart.

Not only are you just as amazing on the outside as you were when I first met you, you're just as perfect on the inside. You play all my favorite songs and hold on to all my favorite CDs. When the weather is nice, we roll down the windows and sing at the top of our lungs to songs we know all the words to. I know I turn the volume up a little too loud for you sometimes, but I know you can tell it makes me happy, so you don’t mind. In return, I love surprising you with the “Vanillaroma” Little Tree. You smell amazing for two weeks straight, and it brings a smile to my face whenever I hop in the driver seat. It’s the little things we do for each other that keep us going.

You’ve always been so good to me, and I’m sorry if I haven’t given you the respect you deserve. I’m sorry I always leave my empty Starbucks cup in the cupholder, I’m working on throwing it away, I promise. And I know you deserve a better wash than just rainwater, but that doesn't mean I don’t love you. I promise I’ll get you the deluxe wash before summer’s over (I know you’ve always wanted that).

But just like your gas tank, my love for you never runs out. You’re everything I could ever ask for and more. All these new fancy cars with tricked out interiors and “sick rims” have nothing on you. I don’t need a car with low milage or a built-in GPS. All we need is a full tank, and we could go miles and miles. I’d drive across the country with you if I could prove how much you mean to me!

You’ve given me so many memories and taken me places that I’ll never forget. Eventually our time will come and your engine will give out. After you, I’ll have to get a new car, but it could never replace you. Your sense of character is truly irreplaceable, and there is no other car like you. Thank you for pushing me to be responsible, caring, on time, cautious and showing me your wild side.

Love always,

Your owner

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
