Give a girl a nephew, and you will change her world.

A Letter To My Nephew
Whitney Underwood

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

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
