To My Person in Heaven,

Did you know recently I have been having an identity crisis with the Catholic church? You see, in the Catholic Church they say in order to go to heaven you must confess your sins and do good deeds on Earth. You never went to confession and often said that a Church would burst into flames if you stepped inside. However, I know in my heart you went to heaven.

You've had me wondering for the past couple of days what heaven is like. I imagine it is amazing, with you and grandma probably going to the Heavenly Movie Theater catching films that won't be out for another century or so. I'm writing this letter however, so I can thank you for a couple of things you have already done for me so far while watching over from above.

Thank you for washing a sense of calm over me the night I found out about your passing. I was in the car hysterically crying when all of a sudden I felt okay for a couple of hours. I know you and God were watching over me at that time.

Thank you for reminding me daily of the memories you and I have been lucky enough to share. From the different movies we have gone to see in the past, to when grandma was still alive and I used to put on dance shows for you and her. Whenever I start feeling sad, I start to think of some of the happy memories you and I have had.

Thank you for giving me strength to help our family during this difficult time, even when I am hurting too. I always looked up to you as one of the strongest people in my life and I think you've shared a bit of that strength in the past few weeks. Through you and the Lord, I have been able to heal a little bit.

Thank you for the love I have gotten to know because of you, love I believe will transcend the boundary between heaven and Earth. Love that even though you have passed still feels me with hope and the feeling I am enough.

Even though you've got an eternity in heaven and I still have time left on Earth, I am beyond grateful to know I have someone above who is watching me over fiercely now alongside the Big Man Upstairs Himself.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
