Bless Your Hearts

There are times when I step back and look at my life, as if I were looking through a window. I think about all the wonderful people that Grand Valley State University has brought into my life and I am filled with gratitude. It is crazy to think people I've known for around 4 months mean so much to me than some people I've known for years. It truly shows the significance of age and maturity. Each person close to me brings something to the table that completes our family. They don't know they're apart of this family, but I include them in mine because they are so special to me.

Whenever someone is going through something, one of us is always there to catch them if they fall. There is never a time I feel alone, and when I do it can easily be fixed with a text to go meet up. Everyone has their unique flaws that make them beautiful.

I truly hope, everyones college experience, is what they dreamed of. New friends, different atmosphere, and of course their social life sky rockets meeting new people!

Right before I left for school, the best advice I was given was to get involved, make something of myself, and share it with others, possibly even inspiring them. So this is a shoutout to all the wonderful, beautiful people I have met. You have touched my heart in a way that cannot be erased. I am inspired every single day by each of you, your motivation, difficulties, successes, setbacks, accomplishments, and everything else you do. Your love for life, makes me feel the love for mine. If your light is dark at the end of the tunnel, I will guide you through to the light, because each of you are my blessings.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
