A Thank You Letter To the Two Parents Who Do It All

Dear Mom and Dad,

I know I don't say it often, but thank you. Every day I watch someone close to me go through a rough time with their family and it only makes me appreciate you two more.

Thank you for supporting me

Whether it's supporting me through college or through a tough time, you're always there for me. You guys always know what to say to make me feel better and you're always on my side. You also give the best hugs.

Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on

Sometimes life just doesn't go our way, so when it does, thank you for letting me cry on your shoulder.

Thank you for teaching me how to stick up for myself

While also doing it in a respectful way.

Thank you for teaching me that honesty is the best policy

Because no one likes a liar.

Thank you for putting food on the table

Nothing ever tastes as good as Mom's homecooked meal, especially every night of the week!

Thank you for working harder than ever

Getting up at 6 am isn't easy to begin with but to do it five days a week takes a real trooper. So thank you for waking up early every day, going to work for 8 hours a day and then coming home to take care of the house.

Thank you for sacrificing everything for me

Whether it's something as simple as the last chicken cutlet, or something even bigger, you two are always willing to put Bella and me first.

Thank you for pushing me to be the best I can be

You always taught me that whatever I can go, I can do to my full potential.

Thank you for keeping the fridge full

This is super helpful since I'm always hungry, so thank you for keeping the closet and fridge filled with delicious snacks.

Thank you for taking care of the house

While working a full-time job, taking care of a house and pets doesn't seem easy, so thank you for doing it. (And making it look easy)

Thank you for loving me unconditionally

Finally, thank you for loving me. Thank you for loving me through all of the ups and downs through life, for every single one of my flaws and for loving me unconditionally. I would not be anywhere close to where I am today without you.

Much love,

Brianna

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
