A Letter To My Parents

I could never make it without you.

A Letter To My Parents

Dear Mom and Daddy,

I will never be able to thank you enough. You are my best friends, my biggest fans, and my favorite people to see when I come home. For as long as I can remember, y'all have been my team. I get to brag to my parents when I'm doing great, cry to them when I'm feeling like a failure, and vent about anything in between. No matter what, you're always on my side. It doesn't matter whether anyone else is or not. I remember once when I was little, my dad told me that family was forever. Friends come and go, boys will break your heart, but my parents and little brother will be there for me no matter what. (Partly because they have no choice. I'm blood.) I never could have fully understood what he meant until I left for college.

My parents have bent over backwards to make sure I have every opportunity in the world, and I couldn't be more grateful. They have supported me no matter what I wanted to do, whether it was going to the rival college of my dad's, or deciding I wanted to be a magician when I grew up. (Okay, they weren't that thrilled about that.) Not everyone is as lucky as I am, to have such selfless and amazing parents. If you are as lucky as I am, you should make sure to tell them. I'm sure they could appreciate a little recognition every now and then.

Love,

A very grateful daughter

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?

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.
