I want to thank you both for everything you did for me in high school. At times, high school was difficult and a place that I did not want to be. When I had problems that I needed to talk about, you two were the ones I could count on. I knew that I could go to you with anything. I would never feel judged and I would never feel like you did not care. Thank you for being caring and understanding when it came to the problems I had. Even if these problems were small and did not seem to matter, you never made me feel like I was boring you. You listened while I talked on and on and I cannot thank you enough for that.

You made me feel like I belonged in a place where it was hard to belong. You helped build up my confidence and helped me realize my worth. I do not know where I would be right now if it wasn't for both of you. You impacted my life in ways that are difficult to explain. You made me realize that things get better and things that happen in high school won't matter forever. You helped me realize that some people are not worth keeping. You helped me realize that I can be whoever I want to be if I just work hard. You did so much for me and I miss you both every single day.

Not only did you help me find myself, you also helped me with my school work. I never felt stupid coming to you with a question about something that I did not understand. You were always there to help me and that is how you are with all of your students. You both are such passionate people and it is easy to see that you deeply care for all of your students. You listen to your students, even if they do not listen to you, and you help them when needed. You would never give up the chance to help someone and that is what makes you such great teachers. You also seem so excited everytime that you see me. I love being able to come home from college and see you guys. Seeing how happy you are when you see me makes me realize how much you truly care for me. I love that you both are so caring, even when I am gone.

I just want you both to know that you are great teachers. I know that sometimes it might feel like you are not making a difference, but I promise that you are. There is at least one student who looks up to you, whether it be a high school student or a student who is now in college (aka me!). You should never change the way you teach or the way that you communicate with your students. Any student is lucky to have teachers like you. You are the kind of people who are going to change the world for someone, just like you did for me. You made me feel so much better about the person that I was and I will continue to thank you for that.

You have both inspired me to try my hardest and to never give up. You have taught me so many life lessons, some without even realizing it. I would have been lost in high school without the both of you. I just hope that one day I can make an impact on someone's life for the better like you did with me. I will always miss having your class, but I know that I can always come to you guys if I need anything. Again, thank you for everything that you have done for me. Stay awesome and I hope to see you soon!

Love,

Your Favorite Student

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?

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. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
