Open Letter To A Friend

I just wanted to let you know how special you are

Open Letter To A Friend

Dear Friend,

I know that this letter is not directed to a particular person, but to multiple people that have had an impact on my life. I think that it is important to recognize that some people have more influence in your life than others, good or bad. When you know that you can change and when you find the people that make you a better person is difficult to let go.

I have friends that have taught me how to live in the moment and not worry about what's coming next, others taught to live how I want to live instead of worrying about other people's opinions. Every single person that I let into my life is special, even the ones that I don't talk to anymore. I enjoy learning from them and having them in my life. Sometimes, some friendships last longer and that's okay. You don't need to collect people because people change and, maybe, those friends were in your life at that time to teach you something.

I want to thank all my friends for accepting me for who I am, being crazy with me, teaching me how to be myself, enjoying life together. You are special and, even if we don't talk every day you are still an important part of my life. Don't worry if you don't hear from me because I am the kind of person that does not need to keep in touch with you to know that you are there for me. Also, you should know that if I consider you my friend you can call at any time and I would help you with whatever you are going through. If you just want to tell me a story just call me or text me, and I'll do the same.

You influence my life more than you know and that is why I want you to know how special you are to me. Thank you for being in my life and hope we can learn more from each other.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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.

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!)
