For everything you do.

Thank you.

I should thank you every single day for what you do for me. For absolutely everything. You deserve the world for what you do for my sister and I. I know we are the biggest pains sometimes, but you are always there for us.

You have been there for me through everything. When I was younger, you helped with each school event whether it be for a Halloween party or a Valentines party. Always being the one having baked goods ready to go. You were there for when I was in Girl Scouts and helping with those events as well. You helped with getting me to basketball and soccer when I was young. You were the one who offered the idea of me trying lacrosse because I had friends who were involved and fast forward 10+ years and I am still playing because you had the original idea. Then you helped get me to each practice and game. You are my biggest fan.

When it came to middle school, you gave me the confidence when I didn't have any and when I had any self doubt, you were the one to wash those worries away. I may have been a pain with having braces and having to deal with the orthodontist for years, but you gave me the chance to have a perfect smile in the end.

When it came to high school, you helped with always finding a perfect dress for each event (always at a great price). You were there for my first relationship and you were there to hear about everything. You always listened, no matter what. You always gave sound advice when ever I needed it - even if it was something I didn't want to hear, but had to hear. You were there to help me through my ACL reconstruction surgery and helped with every appointment I needed to be at and when I was stuck in bed, gave me ice cream when I wasn't feeling my best.

You were the one to teach me how to drive, even though I was so scared at first.You were the one to help me through the entire process of getting into a college, through each year, and finally helping me to finish up with it. You have been my biggest support system no matter what. Currently supporting me in my decision to try for an internship in Pittsburgh and always asking if I had heard anything new with it.

I love the chance when we are able to talk when I am away at school. I always make sure to talk to you about everything and we always end up having hour long conversations. I enjoy each one. I always get so excited for when breaks finally arrive because it means I get to go home to see you and watch our shows together.

I never needed a dad around when you were good enough to be everything for me. I love you more than anything in this world and I can never thank you enough for absolutely everything you do for me. I have pretty much cried during the entire time writing this because I could never imagine a world without you.

You are always going to be my go to person for everything. You are going to be the one to walk me down the aisle for when I get married. You are going to be there for when I have kids and you're going to be a kick ass grandma. You are going to be my person forever and always. I love you more than anything in this world and I can never thank you enough. I could thank you each day, each minute, each second... and it will never be enough. Thank you always, Mom. I love you.

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?

sisters

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.

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!)
