Thank you for being there, even after the break up.

An Open Letter To My Ex's Parents
Rebecca Schwendau

In the two and a half years I spent with your son, I got a glimpse of what it was like to be in your family full of love and support. You both opened your arms to me upon our first meeting and continued to make me feel welcomed and loved every time I walked through your door. You were more than just my boyfriends parents, you were another family to me. You accepted me as a daughter for a short while and I loved every minute I spent at your home even if he wasn't there with me. Whether it was making food or just sitting and talking, my time with you was always well spent and I enjoyed it so much.

When we split, it was really hard for a while to accept the loss of this great family I had grown to love and be a part of. I thought I would never have you two in my life again and that the relationship ending took more than just he and I with it, but I was wrong. You both remain in my life just not the key characters. I see all the things you do and smile when I see a post about your love and how proud you are of your boys. I walk past something that reminds me of y'all and I feel the need to share. Seeing you both in December at your home made me feel warm inside, even though my timing was off. Being able to talk to you two for a few minutes felt like it always had before and I was so thankful to spend those few moments with you.

Although it's been almost two years since our split, I still see you two the same way I did during; wonderful people who want the best for their children. The two of you we're always willing to help me or Parker with anything you needed and when times were tough with us, you helped us through it the best way you knew how. You are always there for your children and willing to go above and beyond for them and their loved ones and that is definitely something I cherish and appreciated, though I never told you. I know how much you two love your children, I saw it everyday in your house hold - even when they did something you weren't exactly pleased with.

You both are great parents, friends, coworkers and people, in general. I miss you both and think about you from time to time, especially the other day when I was picking shells up off the beach. I thank you two for being such wonderful parents I had the chance to have in my life and wish you nothing but the best for the future.

With all my love,

Becca

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
