When I Was Lost, You Were My Sun, And I Have To Thank You For That

I love you from the bottom of my heart and when I was lost you helped me be me.

I remember the first time I saw you. I didn't know your name, although I really wanted to. You didn't know who I was (or so I thought), but one thing was for sure: That what would come out of the summer of 2017 was something I would hold in my heart forever. I went into the summer thinking I was only going to focus on the end goal which was getting better at my craft. Two weeks in you caught my eye, to be more specific the trees on your arm and the little mustache you had going on.

I was so nervous to talk to you, so that's why Tam gave me a helping hand. I don't really know why I was so nervous. Maybe because I knew I you were different from me and I wanted you to like me. Anyway, we started talking and I realized we were not that different at all, it was the opposite we would both rather do nothing all day and that was the winning ticket for me, but I knew the long distance was going to be the greatest challenge.

I want to thank you for always being so opened and silly with me, the way you and I make music is something I will never forget. I have never had this much freedom to be myself and really let anyone plant seeds in my heart. I am thankful that you keep watering my garden and don't let my flowers wilt or grow weeds.

I know times get rough between us and when we I am on the edge somehow you always find a way of grabbing my had and telling me it will all be ok. This is what relationships need to have when one person is uneasy the other needs to know when it's time to give reassurance. I am grateful that you are my sun and always manage to shine through the gloomiest of days.

There aren't enough words in this world that can describe how many roots you have grown in me. There is not a single word that can describe the way I feel when I am with you and in a strange way, I believe that this feels right. I love the way you sleep and how peaceful you look, I sometimes thank whatever power is out there for putting such a beautiful work of art in front of me.

I know we are all scared of letting someone in, but if we don't allow ourselves to be vulnerable how will we ever feel what love is supposed to feel like. I know it's very hard to describe what love feels like but my interpretation goes like this: You can't imagine your life without them, it feels wrong seeing yourself with another person, you feel tremendous appreciation and protection towards them. The most important one, your heart flutters every time you see them and hear their name.

There are not enough words that I can compile together to express my love for you but one thing is for sure, I will always make sure you know what a big part of my world you are.

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?

sisters

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.

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!)
