Mom and Dad,

I just wanted to start by thanking you, not only thanking you for everything you have sacrificed for me, supporting me and all of the other things parents are supposed to do for their children. Most importantly though, for doing what I’m sure you didn’t realize you’ve been doing all along, showing me how to love.

By loving each other you have showed me how to love myself. You have showed me that there is someone for everyone and it’s okay to not settle. You both have given me enough love to last me a lifetime and then some. I know it’s okay to want more for myself even if that means someone may love me a little less. You have also showed me that by loving myself, I can love someone just as great.

In a world full of cheating you showed me what it looks like to love someone unconditionally. After 24 years of marriage you have managed to live your lives like a Nicholas Sparks novel. Flirting, laughing and cuddling just like you first met. You have showed me that true love does exist and it takes hard work to keep that love.

By loving each other you have showed me what I want in a partner, in a friend, and for myself. You two have been my greatest inspiration in writing and in life. Although my big heart has gotten me in trouble often, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I want to thank you today and every day after. I want to thank you for being the sappy, loving person that I am. I want to thank you for teaching me that in a world full of hookups I can still look for my Prince Charming.

Thank you for loving each other,

Your greatest fan

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
