Dear Mr. Lucky,

How are you? I'm just writing this letter to give you a basic insight into what you're going to be dealing with for years to come, God's willing.

I should begin by saying that life is a funny thing, it's a journey that you inevitably have to travel. It comes with amazing ups and devastating downs that we can never be fully prepared for. With that being said, it's very clear what we'll be signed up for.

I'm pretty sure the first thing that caught your attention was me referring to you as "lucky". My friend, you are, just as how I am too. I think of myself as a wonderful human being who carries unique flaws. I'm driven by passion and purpose, love and life. Life's short but I'm eager to make the most of it. There are days when I want to climb to the top of a mountain, and days I want to hide under my blanket and binge watch Gossip Girl or Sex And The City all day. Days I successfully execute and days I complain about how long my to-do lists are, days I drink coffee and days I opt for green tea. You get the gist. I'm just an average girl who's evolving into an amazing woman, hoping to find mind-blowing love which will last a lifetime.

Although I hate them, arguments are bound to happen. However, I see them not as reasonable grounds for distance to be created between us, but for us to grow closer. I see them as opportunities to learn little things about each other-- things we like, dislike, desire and so much more. So when things do get sour, don't avoid me, talk to me and tell me what I did wrong, what I can do to fix it, what's happening in your life as I'll do just the same.

I like to feel special, simply because I'm a queen at heart and also because I'll do things just to show you that you're special to me too. Randomly bring me roses (pink peonies preferably, but roses will do too), tell me that I'm weird and kiss me on my forehead, ask how my day was, what's going on in my life, what's bothering me or even just what I want to eat lol. Make me hot cocoa every night before bed or chamomile if I'm feeling for it, rub my head because it makes me feel at peace and randomly hold my hand. Kiss me before you sleep and when you open your eyes each morning, take me on random dates, especially when I'm not feeling my best, and just tell me you love me when I need to hear it the most.

Just know that whatever you're going through, whether good or bad, I'll be there to go through it with you. You'll never have to handle anything alone. I'll never tell you that you can't do something you really want to do. I'll always be there to listen to your dreams, your goals, and aspirations. While I'm going to be your biggest supporter, I'll also be your critic if you need me to be (not naggingly). If you need a shoulder to rest your head on, although not very big, mine will be there. I can't promise you that my cooking will be as awesome as your mom's but you'll be fed... lol.

However, don't expect me to chase you for anything. While I believe in second chances, thirds are left to my discretion. Don't shut me out and expect me to be there for you, don't disrespect me and expect that I'll stay with you. I won't. While I may love you, I love myself too and I won't allow myself to submit to unfavourable circumstances that negatively impacts my emotional well-being.

I believe having a partner is knowing you have a source of peace and love in your life. Knowing that after a day of chaos caused by the world, you can comfortably go home and know you'll be in your happy place. That's what I expect us to be for each other.

As the days, weeks, and years go by, we'll learn to love each other more than ever before. We'll care for and protect each other.

This letter is only just a small fraction of what's to come.

Love,

Brittney

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
