When you give a girl a nephew, you are truly changing her world. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love my nephews. I am sure when I have my own children, God willing, that I will think the same way. But for now, the love of my nephews is what gets me through. They are the most loving, kind, hilarious, silly boys I have ever met. They are blessings beyond measure. So here is my letter to my sweet, sweet boys.

Dear Nephew,

You are the best thing to ever come into my world. You came in screaming and I started crying. I knew my life would be six and a half more pounds of pure sweetness, and love. You turned my world upside down, I never ever thought that such a tiny baby could leave such an impression on my life. The day you were born was the day a new person inside me emerged. I seen your little baby hands, and your teeny little toes, and I thought perfection. From the little tiny baby I adored, to the young boy that I am so beyond proud of. You have became everything to me.

Every time something terrible in the world happens, I want to hold you. I want to protect you from all the evil in the world. I want you to have no knowledge of pain and suffering, I would gladly take your place if ever I have to. I want you to know that if I am able, I will always be at the sideline of every important game, and in the audience at every performance. I will choose you first, always. I will love you until my very last breath. I will go to the ends of the earth to give you happiness.

My hope for you, is that you always remember that God gave you the very air you breath and the life you live. So give it back to him. Live for him. Be Godly. Be bold. Be confident. For you, oh my boy, you are so wonderfully and fearfully made. Your future is so bright. You can be anything you want. Reach for the stars dear, they are at your fingertips.

I love you. I will always be your best friend, and your supporter. I will be your crazy #1 fan for the rest of your life, and i'm sorry but no matter how embarrassing I will be, there is nothing you can do about it. I am so blessed to call you my nephew. Thank you for just being you.

-Love Aunt Wu

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

658

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.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Because you need it in your life.
