The Most Phenomenal Woman!

A Letter To My Mother

Phenomenal Mom,

There is no way I can tell you how much I appreciate your love and warmth with words. I pay homage to you this Mother's Day by expressing my LOVE to you through words, words too simple to emphasize their meanings. You have never given up on me, you have never left me, everything you have done is to benefit our family. So many times you have had to do things on your own, but you always seem to make a way, when I saw no solution. I learn from you daily how to accomplish growth and independence in my life. You are strength, you are love, you are peace, you are understanding. When I reach a breaking point, you have assured me with your open heart and wisdom abundantly. I admire the woman you are, I aspire to carry myself as you do, and I appreciate the adventurous spirit I inherited from you. I have learned to be fearless, to live by my rules, to block negativity, and to conquer challenges before me. You are so PHENOMENAL. You introduced me to the world by encouraging me to explore every opportunity and to ask questions. You have taught me to not settle in life, by making sure I knew my worth, you made sure I knew how to encounter the world. The times I felt alone and afraid, your hugs wrapped around me tight, warm, and comforting. When I feel down or alone, I imagine you are there with open arms to make a way. This Mother's Day I want you to know there is no replacing you, Mom. I love you so much and thank you for being my mom. There is so much you deserve and so much more I wish I could do. I hope I make you proud as I use your example to become Phenomenal.

Your Daughter

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
