A Letter To My Second Parents
DeAnna Kosakavich

My second parents,

First of all I would like to thank you for giving birth to my absolute best friend who is one of the most beautiful, caring, loving & supportive friends I have. Without you guys I wouldn't have someone to always count on. Thank you for raising such a wonderful women who has became my other half. I would not have someone to call at 3 am when I feel like my life is a mess and I just need someone to comfort me. I wouldn't of had someone to watch lifetime movies all day long while eating a bunch of snacks every Sunday when I was in high school. I wouldn't have my soul sister.

I wouldn't have my forever friend if it wasn't for you.

You should be so proud of the child you have raised. She is always willing to be the first person to listen when nobody else will. She is always continuing to push me to be a better person.

She would give the shirt off her back to a stranger and not think twice about it. She's one of the most amazing and honest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Your daughter and I have laughed together, cried together & grown together. I don't know how I would have made it this far without her by my side!

Thank you for opening your house to me since the day I met your daughter. Thank you for being there for me when I felt I couldn't go to my own parents. Thank you for never judging me or any of my life choices. Thank you for always being so supportive. Thank you for always inviting me to do things with you and your family.

Thank you for the countless holiday cards and birthday cards because you did not have to do that. But yet you still went above and beyond to make it a point to send them. Thank you for accepting me as a part of your life.

Thank you for always being honest with me, even when may have hurt my feelings. Words could never express how much love I have for you both. You believed in me when nobody else did. You have always stuck by my side and listened to all my drama.

Thank you for all the memories we made throughout all these years. Thank you for being my family away from family. Thank you for letting your home be my home away from home. Thank you for all you have done for me all the years you have known me. Thank you for always making me feel loved!

You have made such an impact on my life and I can't thank you enough. With this letter I just wanted to express how grateful I am to have you both in my life. You have made me see life in a different way that nobody else would of been able to make me see. Here's too many more years of never getting rid of me!

Love always,

Your adopted daughter.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
