Some teachers teach for the paycheck; others teach to change lives.

A Thank You Letter To My Favorite Teacher

To My Favorite Teacher,

Whether you know it or not, you have had an extremely large impact on my life. Of course you've taught me the basics when it comes to keeping organized and memorizing information, but you have done so much more than that. Not only have you taught me to appreciate my education and the many opportunities I have been given, but you also opened my eyes to what I am capable of. No matter what we were doing, you always told your students to put everything they have into what they were trying to accomplish. You have instilled a drive in me that will never fade away.

Thank you for never giving up on me or my classmates, even when it seemed like all of the odds were against us. You never failed to ensure that we were doing okay, both inside the classroom and out. You were always available when I needed someone to talk to, and that's something I will never forget. If one of your students had an issue with something, you always were there to address the issue and help out in any way possible. You somehow always knew exactly what to say when we needed to hear it the most. Not many people are willing to throw themselves in to everyone else's problems, so thank you for being brave.

Most of all, I want to thank you for being a role model in my life. Some teachers teach simply for the paycheck, and some teachers teach because they want to make a difference in someone else's life. Thank you for being the second one. You have taught me so many different lessons that go beyond the classroom, and I can't wait to teach them to the children I have of my own some day. I know that teaching is an extremely difficult task. Dealing with teenagers every day must be exhausting, and to be honest you don't get nearly enough credit for it. But I know that you don't do what you do for the brownie points, you teach because you truly love it, and that's a gift within itself.

Thank you for being yourself, always striving for greatness and making sure your students did as well. Thank you for helping shape my life, because you did in one way or another. Finally, thank you for deciding to be a teacher. I hope that your future students appreciate you as much as I do.

Sincerely,

A Thankful Student

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
