You are the coolest person ever.

Godmothers are very special people. You were there from the very beginning of my life and you have been there for me in all types of situations since then. You are one of the most special people I know, and I love you and the person you are for so many reasons.

You have taught me that I can be anything I want to be. Even when my dream was as silly as being a singer on Broadway to my actual career path of being a future speech-language pathologist, you have always encouraged me. You have always been there to tell me to follow my dreams and to not be afraid. I am the type of person that doesn't have a lot of faith in myself, but you have been one of the constant people in my life telling me that I am capable of more than I think that I am.

You have taught me that I can go anywhere I want to go. My favorite memories with you are when we have gone places. From visiting you when I was little in St. Louis, to the many trips that we have made to the Big Apple, each trip has been filled with so much laughter, fun, and most importantly, love. Each time, you show me there is so much more in the world than the small town of Hurt, VA and I can go anywhere that I want, whether it is just to visit or stay long term.

Lastly, you've taught and shown me unconditional love. You and I both (and our families) have been through a lot in recent years and you have been one of my biggest supporters and rocks throughout the journey. You have shown so much strength and have helped me through all of the heartache, grief, anger, and sadness. You inspire me every day.

You are literally one of the coolest humans that I know and I am so lucky and blessed to have the most amazing godmother. Thank you for all of the things you have taught me and all the love you have shown me. You are the best!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
