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.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
