An Open Letter to My Grampy Who I Lost Too Soon...
Myself

Dear Grampy,

It's been 3 long years since I lost one of my favorite people. 3 years of holidays having to celebrate without you but wishing It was just all a dream and that I would get one more Easter and Christmas mornings breakfast with you. I wish I could have one more phone call with you just to talk about anything. I wish I could have had one more day with you. I miss you more and more everyday Grampy and I know that you have been looking down on me everyday for the past 3 years and given me strength when I truly needed it. I know you have been front row cheering me on at every performance I have done over the past 3 years. It's still so hard to believe that you aren't here anymore. I wish you could be here to see how much I've accomplished in the past 3 years...... I had a great relationship with a great guy (You truly would have loved him as much as I did.. He loved the big game of Hockey as much as you did, Gramps. and he was a gentlemen. I wish you could have met him), I graduated high school in the top half of my class, I started to college to pursue my dream career of becoming a Special Education teacher and I wish you could see all that my not so little brother has accomplished like he did it, he got into prep school and it has changed his life for the better, he plays his 3 favorite sports there, He is already thinking about where he wants to go off to college which is crazy, and he has truly become a great young man and you would be so beyond proud of him. You would be proud of your other three Granddaughter as well..The oldest has gotten to travel to Europe and she got her license. And the younger two have grown up in wonderful young girls as well.

And you would be so beyond proud of the two young men that you brought into this world. They are both so strong and loving. You truly have two amazing sons here.

Thank you for looking down on me and guiding me through life, Grampy. I hope I can continue to make you smile and proud for the rest of my life. I miss you everyday and seeing your smile, hearing your voice, seeing you in the audience and just everything. You will always be with me in my heart even if you can't be here physically. I love you Grampy.... forever and always. Keep watching us live and play the "Big Game". Rest In Peace.

Love,

Your Grand-daughter

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
