Dear Mom and Dad,

Thank you for giving me the most amazing childhood.

We moved quite a bit as we were growing up, but that just made me so much more adventurous. I honestly don't know how you guys managed to move so much with such a big family. Moving on to the boat was one of the best decisions we have ever made. I wouldn't be the person I am today without you guys making that decision.

Thank you for my siblings.

You didn't just give me family, you gave me three best friends. Growing up I always had someone to play with and someone to talk to. I had three other people to make the mistakes that I could learn from. I couldn't live my life without these amazing people.

Thank you for teaching me.

Thank you for teaching me how to drive, how to grow, and how to love. You guys have always exemplified everything I want to be both as a person and as a future parent and wife. You have not just taught me how to live, but also you have taught me how to be the best person I can be. You've taught me how to accept myself and my decisions and how to be better.

Thank you for loving me and supporting me.

No matter what I do, I know both of you will always have my back. You have always supported me. Through my ballet days, my swimming days, and my basketball days, you guys have always been there. You were able to cheer me on even when I was tossing the other kids around on stage (they just didn't know the dance, as well as I, did). I was always proud and excited to bring my report card home because I knew you would both be there to congratulate me and be my cheerleaders.

Thank you for protecting me.

You guys kept me and my siblings so safe all through our childhood. Even though we are all moved out, you have given us the correct tools to stay safe in this crazy world.

You guys have given me everything! You've shown me how to follow my dreams. You've shown me that if everything goes wrong, I will ALWAYS have two of the best people to help me pick up the pieces and figure out something else. I am so beyond blessed to call you my parents. Thank you for the years of advice and love and support.

Love,

Your 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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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!)
