An Open Letter To My Fur Baby
Rochelle Hetrick

Dear Fur Baby,

There is so much love, laughter, and life experiences I have shared with you. You have helped me through so much, and I don't think I would be able to be where I am today if you were not in my life. No matter what happens, you will always be family to me.

I wanna start off by saying that you are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. When we got you when I was younger, I did not think that we would be so close to one another. I took for granted being able to see you on a daily basis, and I wish that I had appreciated it more when I was in school/at home. You went with me through some pretty rough times, like break-ups or my eye surgeries, and supported me through the good times, like my graduation from high school. There is so much more I am thankful for, Bubber, but these are the main things.

Thank you for constantly finding a way to make me smile. You are such a silly girl, and even in some of the darkest times of my life you somehow managed to make me feel a little better. Whether it is your goofy little smile or the random times you play with treats, you always manage to make the room brighter. This is a quality about you I am not sure everyone possesses. Let's face it, your smile is addictive baby girl.

Although you are an older dog, you still act like a puppy. It is hard to believe my parents when they say "oh yeah she's 13." Baby girl you need to slow down! It feels like just yesterday we picked you up and brought you home with us. I wasn't happy that you went to the bathroom on the way home on me, but you were not even a year old. You didn't know any better. I love how energetic you still are, and even with a torn ACL, you still try to be the same energetic self when you can. We practically grew up together, so it is going to be so hard when I have to say goodbye to you. I can't see my life without you, honey. I want you to know that I am gonna try and do what I can when the time comes, but for now let's focus on the positive aspects that you contain.

Peach, as we continue to grow, I want you to know that I love you no matter what. Things happen for a reason, but I want to be able to support you whether I am home or not. Sure, it can be hard, but it is so worth it. I always ask about you when I call my parents, and you are generally on my mind when I think of home. I don't see you as much as mom and dad. It can be difficult, but I am gonna be there for you as you were for me when we were younger. I want you to know that I love you, and you are the best fur baby I could ever ask for!

Sincerely,

A loving owner

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.
