An Open Letter To HGTV

Thanks for always being my go-to channel.

An Open Letter To HGTV

Dearest HGTV,

Over the years I have really grown to like and appreciate you. In my opinion, you are the best channel that is offered on cable. Whether is it “Flip or Flop”, “Fixer Upper”, “Property Brothers”, or “House Hunters”, I am always entertained. Personally, I have grown to favor Fixer Upper because I love the work of Chip and Joanna Gaines. All of the shows that you broadcast exhibit so much talent, but Chip and Joanna have really stood out to me over the past few months.

I think that my mother is responsible for my obsession with you. You are always her go-to channel, so when she has the television on in the house, nine times out of ten you are playing. My mom loves home decorating. I have to say she has a knack for it. She has decorated every house that we have lived in by herself, and has always done a phenomenal job. She loves watching all of your shows to gather new ideas and to see the latest trends, and her love for you has definitely rubbed off on me.


I am so thankful that you have allowed me to gain an appreciation for interior design and home renovation. Your shows have taught me so much about the complexities of renovating homes as well as the challenges that come with it. I am amazed that the people on your channel can take a home that is completely rundown and make it into something extravagant. Being able to watch these transformations is so awesome, and even hard to believe at times. I love seeing creative individuals embrace their passion and do so successfully because it truly inspires me. They have a special talent that many people do not possess.


You have opened my eyes to the world of flooring, shiplap, countertops, molding, and so much more. You have provided me with the opportunity to see houses across the country. I am able to explore the world through you and learn about the cultural differences that exist in regards to living space.


I have to say that you have become more than just a television channel to me. You have become a great distraction for me when I’m stressed or feeling down. You have taught me so much, inspired me, motivated me to channel my inner creativity and put it to use, and have ultimately pushed me to keep an open mind. I have grown to appreciate my home as well as my community because of you and what you have presented to me.


I want to take this opportunity to thank you for being a friend to me and for making me a better person. Although I am not on track to becoming an interior designer or an architect, I know that I will always carry you with me throughout my life. I cannot wait to decorate my first home one day and implement all of the amazing ideas that you have offered to me. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Your Biggest Fan

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.
