For The Mom That Could Never Be Thanked Enough, Thank You For Giving Us Your All
Patricia Lalo

To my mom,

Although every day should be a day to celebrate you, this day is especially important because it's your birthday. Words cannot describe how much I love you and how thankful I am that you're my mom. No gift card or new clothes could compensate for all of the things you have done for me. You've been there for me when things are going well and when things go awry. I never felt your support for me waver and I really appreciate that.

I know I'm not the easiest person to deal with bcausee of my stubborn attitude, but I had to get that from somewhere. Regardless of how much of a pain I could be, you still are there for me and love me.

I honestly do not say that I love you enough and the older I get, the more I realize how much of a trooper you are. Now that college is starting to ramp up and your job occupies a lot of your time, time for the both of us is scarce. What amazes me is that you still find time in your day to check in on me and my siblings and make sure that we're all happy. You put your all into our family. No matter how tired you are, you always take care of us before yourself.

As cliche as it sounds, you've made me the person I am today and I can not thank you enough. You taught me the importance of being kind to others and to always put in my all even if it seems like nothing is going my way. You taught me that when the going gets tough, the tough keep going. I love you so very much and I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Love,

Your daughter

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.

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!)
