A Letter To My Grandpa

To the man that has always loved me.

A Letter To My Grandpa
Sarah Schwartz

Dear Grandpa,

I just wanna start by saying I love you.

From the time I was born, I have always been your girl. I will always be proud to be your granddaughter.

I remember pretend marrying you when I was five. That way I always your girl. Little did you know, I would always be your girl, no matter what. Some of my happiest memories were with you on the farm. I always want to go back to those days.

You have always supported me and stood by me. I hope I am still making you proud to this day.

Your love of your family is something that I admire greatly. I love spending time with you and learning what you experienced as a child. I also enjoy going to the place where you were born for family reunions because I love seeing all my family and seeing where you caused all that mischief as a child. It is also a humbling experience to know where your roots come from.

I will be the first person to admit that I don't call you nearly enough. I know I should.

A couple weeks ago, we went on a date, just the two of us. I was the happiest girl in the world and I will always cherish that memory.

You will always be one of the few men that will always hold a special place in my heart.

I know life is getting harder for us both but remember:

That I love you and I will always be your girl.

Love you always,

Your Princess

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
