Binal Patel

People come and go in everyone lives. There are only a few that will always stay. The two people that I am most thankful for are my parents. My parents have always supported me and encouraged me to do my best. Their love is unconditional and I am grateful to have them with me, every step of the way. Here are 10 reasons why you should be thankful for your parents.

1. They will always love you.

2. They put you first.

3. They will rescue you.

4. They will not judge you.

5. They always have a shoulder for you to cry on.

6. They listen and will be there for you.

7. They support and motivate you.

8. They give you the best advice.

9. They feed and shelter you.

10. They will always be honest.

With every year passing by, I am getting closer and closer to becoming an adult. I could not have gotten so far without the support and guidance of my parents. I do not say it enough, but I truly love my parents and am thankful for all they have done and what they continue to do to see me happy. Thank you, mom and dad, for everything.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
