An Open Letter To My Upstairs Neighbors

Dear upstairs neighbors,

I don't consider myself an angry person, but you really bring out my inner Tasmanian Devil. At first, it wasn't so bad. You made a little noise, but I'm sure we did too. Then it started getting out of hand. I can't even count how many times I've woken up to you showering while blasting your terrible music. I'm actually fairly certain I have your playlist memorized (there's a heck of a lot of Drake in there).

Then there's the issue of moving chairs across the floor. I swear with the way you drag and throw the chairs around, they're going to come crashing through our ceiling one of these days.

We're not even going to talk about the numerous times that there was so much stomping around coming from your domain that we went up to talk to you and realized Just Dance was happening.

We ALWAYS know when you're getting ready for a night out on the town; I promise it isn't necessary to wear your high heels until you head out the door. The periodic screams of excitement are also not cool.

You probably didn't realize this, but we had you on a punishment and reinforcement schedule for awhile. Those thumps you heard from down below? We were throwing a ball at the ceiling when you got too obnoxious. We had planned to bring you cookies when you were acting like peaceful, quiet creatures, but we're still waiting for that moment to come. Meanwhile, the cookies are no longer safe for human consumption.

Sometimes we can hear your talking over the TV, which is strategically on a higher volume than necessary to block out background noise. Hats off to you for thwarting our efforts.

Once upon a time, I didn't feel this immense amount of rage directed at you and your noise making, but all rational thought has fled at this point.

I swear you get inspiration from these upstairs experts:

(If you haven't already seen it, I definitely recommend watching the video here).

Sincerely,

The fed-up people downstairs

P.S. Is there a chance you descended from a line of elephants?

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
