A Thank You Letter To My Grandparents

No amount of words could thank you enough.

A Thank You Letter To My Grandparents

You were there from the beginning. You loved us like we were your own. You might not be our parents but you are pretty dang close. I know the words that I am about to write could never express the absolute gratitude that you guys deserve. I know that I don't say it enough but I love you with my whole heart.

In my several years in nursing school, I have seen multiple elderly people sicker than you couldn't imagine. When I leave the hospital, I say a little prayer that God granted me another day with you both in my life. I know I don't say it enough but the time that we spend together I will remember for the rest of my days.

The memories of the both of you while I was growing up mean so much to me. I will never forget countless summers spent at your house. The hours of swimming in your pool, going to football games, and multiple evenings after school when you watched me and Emily. I could never thank you enough.

I know that as time goes on, we seem to see each other less and less. But times that we spend together mean the world. I know that there are children out there who would kill for the perfect set of grandparents like you. You were the extra set of parents every child needs.

I appreciate all that you do for me and Emily and no amount of money or time could make it up to you. I hope that someday when I have children of my own that they get to experience the wonderful grandparents — that will then be great great grandparents like I did.

Know that no matter where life takes me I will always be your little girl. I will always be that little girl who wants to play in the pool and eat lunch meat sandwiches with you. I know that someday I will regret all the time that I could have spent with you.

Although we might not say it, we appreciate all that you do for us. From slipping us money on the side, and giving us rides from place to place without even giving it a second thought. All your time and effort doesn't go unnoticed. Emily and I love both of you with every inch of our hearts and want you to know that we will always be there for you no matter what life throws our way.

Love,

Your Granddaughters

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
