Feelin' Extra Thankful For My Gals This IWFM

Happy International Women's Friendship Month!

It's finally September which means it's officially International Women's Friendship Month!

International Women's Friendship Month was created by Kappa Delta Sorority to encourage women to remember the important roles our friends play in our lives. So clear your calendars, ladies, because we're about to spend 30 straight days celebrating our girl gangs!

To kick off the month I'd like to share some love with my number one girls, so here's a "thanks" to the gals that get me through.

Thank you for...

Making me laugh.

Loving me unconditionally.

Telling me that everything's going to be okay, and staying with me until it is.

Being the reason I smile.

Building my confidence.

Supporting me.

Being a positive influence.

Helping me.

Checking in on me.

Listening to all of Taylor Swifts albums over and over again with me.

Always spilling the tea.

Telling me the truth, even when I don't want to hear it.

Genuinely wanting the best for me.

Watching Christmas movies year-round with me.

Listening to my overdramatic stories.

Hugging me when you know I need it.

Being the person I want to celebrate with.

Singing along to both Mamma Mia soundtracks with me.

Forgiving me.

Welcoming me into your home.

Being a shoulder to cry on.

Being my friend & my family.

I'm so fortunate to have such strong, encouraging, beautiful women in my life that build me up and make me want to be the best version of myself every day.

I'm incredibly grateful for the friendships in my life because each one has taught me something new about myself, and each one has taught me how to be a better friend.

So, send your go-to girls some extra love this month because they absolutely deserve it!

Happy International Women's Friendship Month!

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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!)
