A Thank You To My Grandparents

Grandma and grandpa, I can never thank you enough for everything you've ever done for me.

To the grandparents who have loved, supported, and cared for me all of my life. They are the people that matter most to me and I am so lucky to have the coolest and most generous grandparents around me. They have helped shape me into the women I am today because of the role they played and the impact they have made in my life. I have three grandparents left on this earth. I have one deceased, and one who shut us out of her life, and that has taught me to never take a second for granite with the grandparents I have around. Before my first grandparent passed away, his family was his entire world and that is something I will always remember the most about him.The grandparents I have now have more than made up for the one that was absent most of my life and for that I am forever grateful for them. When I was younger I took them for granted but as I have gotten older they are become an important part of my life that I don't know what I would do without them one day.

1. Thank you for the birthday calls every year.

I look forward to our talks, even on random days when you'd butt dial me.

2. Thank you for listening to me talk about anything and everything.

Even the small stuff, you always stayed invested.

3. Thank you for supporting every decision I made and standing by my side.

No matter what.

4. Thank you for making the best home cooked meals.

And making sure I never leave hungry.

5. Thank you for shaping my parents into amazing people.

I also could not live without them.

6. Thank you for putting your family before you.

You taught me what it is like to be kind to the people around you.

7. Thank you for being the coolest grandparents.

I can laugh with you endlessly, be silly in front of, and have fun with.

8. Thank you for showing each of your grandchildren how much they are loved and adored by you.

We love just as much as you love us!

9. Thank you for being there through the hard times.

They weren't always easy, but you made them a little better.

10. Thank you for showing me how to be strong.

And teaching me to never give up on anything.

I will never be able to fully express how much I am thankful for my grandparents because they've done more things for me that I could have ever imagined. Thank you for being involved in our lives, even through the long distance. Thank you for everything.

I love you both so much.

Love,

your granddaughter.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

5. Is the "S" or the "C" silent in the word "scent"?

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?

7. Would Lightning McQueen buy car insurance or life insurance?

8. Who put the alphabet in alphabetical order?

9. What color are mirrors?

10. If 2 mind readers read each other's minds whose mind are they really reading?

11. Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?

14. If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?

15. If Cinderella's shoe fit perfectly, why did it fall off?
