Why I'm Thankful I'm A Godmother
Lexie Klingler

July 4, 2013, is the day that changed my life forever. On that day, I became a Godmother. It is nearly impossible to put into words how greatly this blessing has impacted my life. To this day, I am overwhelmed with joy and thankfulness because of the opportunity that my Uncle and Aunt have allowed me to have. Without any questions and hesitations, I agreed to take on the role as a Godparent and it has be an honor to say the least.

I have been an only child my entire life. I have no complaints with being an only child, but it does come with some downfalls. Not having siblings means that I am never going to be an aunt. I find myself feeling slightly blue when I think about that because I have seen the way that my Aunts and Uncles treat me, and I wanted nothing more then to be able to give that in return. Being a Godmother has given me the opportunity to be an "aunt" and for that, I am forever grateful.

I was born on July 7, but the twist is that I was supposed to be born on July 4. Nevertheless, the fact that my Godson was born on July 4, the day I was supposed to be born on, seems as if it were meant to be. I feel as if I was almost destined by God to become a role model for my Godson. I know I may sound totally insane, but it's the small things that make me think further in depth. So for technically having the same birthday, I am grateful that we will forever share this memory together.

Being a Godmother comes with responsibility and motivation. I motivate myself to become a spectacular role model for my Godson. I want him to have the same hard work and dedication tactics that I do. I want to see him excel, to say the least. I want to shower him with gifts and love until he is 50 years old. I want him to know that no matter what the situation is, he can always come to me. This is my chance to be like an older sister or an aunt to my Godson and I promise to not let him down. You are a miracle baby and I'm so blessed to be here for you.

I love you, Zachary Aiden Klingler.

Uncle Max, Aunt Darlene, My mom, Zachary and me. This is the day I officially became his Godmother.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
