To A Loved One In Heaven

We do miss you...

To My Person,

It's quite easy for people to say they miss you, but not everyone knows all the memories that were made through the years of living with you.

Since I was a little girl, you've always impacted my life, it's hard to believe that it's almost been five years since we last spoke. Crazy to think about how many things have been celebrated without you here. From birthdays to graduations, holidays, first day of college, and so much more. Although you aren't physically here, you're still here, with us every day. You're guiding us to be a better person, through little acts.

Every day, I wish you were still here. So I could call you about how my day went, or call you in between classes to let you know how things were going so far. It's tough that I can't just walk down the hallway to talk to you anymore. I miss the encouragement that you gave all the time. I wish I got the chance to spend more time with you and appreciate everything you did a lot more once you were here.

It's all the little things that I miss the most about you being here. The hugs, the laughs, the time we spent baking together and even the little fights. I would give anything to have that back, even the fights because they were never really fights. The conversation we would have, after school. Listening to your, what I thought back then, awful taste in music which now I enjoy listening too.

Now as your birthday approaches soon, it's even harder that I can't wake up and see you and say "happy birthday, love you." Although, I'm sure you'll be having a birthday blast up there with all of our other family members who have joined you. Even though I can't say happy birthday physically either, I can still say it to you and I know you hear it. Your birthday will always be an extremely special day to all of us—you were an extremely special person to us.

Thank you, for being my inspiration to be a better person in life and to never take anything for granted, because you never know what you have until it's gone. You always knew how to put a smile on the faces of others, even when you were going through the toughest battles. You've touched my life and the lives of many others and everyone you've ever met is forever grateful to have you have in their life. I know that one day we all can't wait to see you again, but I know for a fact that will be one of the best days ever, being reunited with my best friend, since I was a little girl.

You've always been my person, even when you're not here, you're still my person and I can count of you to be there, whenever I need you to be. You put the sunshine in the cloudiest days.

Until we meet again,

I love you always.

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
