Grandma,

I have so much to thank you for. You have shaped the person I am today and I cannot imagine my life without you in it. I hope everyone in the world has someone like you.

Thank you for the world’s best hugs.

Thank you for loving me even when I couldn’t love myself.

Thank you for watching out for my family. They are my world.

Thank you for the full tummy I have after leaving your house.

I love all your stories. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and lessons learned.

Thank you for praying for me. I need it.

Thank you for opening my eyes to all the beauty in the world. You have such a gift in being able to see it all.

Thank you for kissing my scraped knees and teary eyes as a kid, and as an adult.

Thank you for the advice on how to conquer the world.

Thank you for teaching me about self-respect and being a loyal and hardworking woman.

Thank you for raising my parent. They take after you in all the very best ways.

Thank you for being the strongest woman I have ever met.

Thank you for being the anchor that keeps me grounded.

Thank you for accepting me for who I really am.

You deserve the world. I cannot thank the universe enough for putting you in my life. I don’t know anyone who has such a kind, patient, and gentle soul. It is only in my wildest of dreams I can hope to be as wonderful as you are. Your life has impacted so many, so greatly. Your compassion and tender heart are a blessing to this world.

All my love,

Your favorite grandchild

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
