An Open Letter To My Furry Friend

Though you are gone, you are not forgotten

An Open Letter To My Furry Friend
flash1ghts

To my furry best friend,

When I first brought you home years ago, all I could think about was the mischief we would get into. I'd wake up the next morning, see your cute furry face and smile. When mom wasn't looking, I would sneak you food, and give you extra treats, even when you weren't being a "good dog." I share so many special memories with you over the years, as we'v both grown up together.

From running around in the backyard, to walks around the neighborhood, these memories I hold special with you in a different way than any human I know. And yet, the day came when I had to leave you for school (one of the biggest reasons I didn't want to go.) I asked mom if I could bring you with me, and considered ways to sneak you out of the house to live with me in my dorm room.

When you passed away, life wasn't the same. I didn't come home to your barks and wagging tail. I didn't come home

Some people think that pets are just pets, but to me, you were one of my best pals, and a honorable member of our family. Holidays would not-- and will not-- be complete without you around, trying to scavenge food or snuggle up next to someone on the couch.

And though you are gone, in pet heaven, you are and forever will be with me, and with our family. You have touched our hearts in our lives more then you can imagine. I miss you every single day, and will continue to. Thanks for being the best furry friend I could have ever asked for.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
