Dear Mom’s and Dad’s,

Over these past few years, we’ve done nothing short of drive you guys CRAZY. We know this. And we’re sorry. But, just know that your hard work and dedication to us has never gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Without you guys, we wouldn’t be where we are today, so thank you.

Thank you for supporting us in choosing where to go to school.

We know we have the tendency to be incredibly indecisive, and looking back, we can only imagine how annoying we were about choosing colleges. With that being said, we appreciate all of your support for us along the way. Just know that we wanted to be sure we went somewhere that we could be happy. There’s a reason for our madness (sometimes), we promise.

Thank you for coming down every summer to help us move in.

Without you guys, we don’t know if we’d have anything cleaned or organized. I know that my physical strength had not been enough to get my stuff into my dorm, nor to the second floor of my apartment. And, quite honestly, I don’t think I would have even MADE my bed, let alone unpacked my clothes or cleaned my room without you forcing me to.

Thank you for letting us call you crying after a bad exam.


We’ve all been there. We walk into an exam, whether we’re confident or not, and leave as if nothing could’ve gone worse. When we think a bad exam is the end of the world, you guys help us realize that everything will be okay. Without you, we might not stay sane.

Thank you for taking us grocery shopping when you come to visit.

We’re college students. And therefore we’re poor. We’ll take any opportunity for free food that we can get. So just know that every time you come to visit and take us to get food, it’s basically the equivalent to Christmas.

Thank you for the care packages during midterms and finals.

They’re the perfect pick-me-ups that all of us need to stay motivated.

Thank you for bearing with us when we have no idea what we want in life.

From changing majors, to completely changing our career paths, you guys have heard it all. It’s so much to figure out for us, and we’re bound to question ourselves. But your patience and understanding is what we need. This is the most challenging time of our lives, and we couldn’t do it without you to guide us.

Thank you for being only a phone call away.

Sometimes we need last minute advice, and you get that. It's always good to know that you'll be there at any given time to talk to us.

And, last but not least, thank you for your constant love and support.

In a crazy college environment, sometimes it's hard to feel this from friends. That's not to say our friends aren't there for us, but with our crazy schedules, sometimes we don't get to see or talk to them as much as we need or want. It's always comforting to know that we have you guys. Because when we're down, you always pick us right back up.

Thank you guys.

Love,
Your kids
