To the Friend Who Hasn't Heard "Thank You" Enough,

You are the one who always has a smile on their face, the one who always has their arms wide open when someone seeks comfort, the one who is willing to move mountains for the people they care about. You are bright and compassionate—a quality that is desired by many but attained by only a few. Everyone around you is naturally drawn to your kind spirit. So many people rely on you to get them through whatever challenges they may be facing.

As much as we appreciate all you do, we somehow seem to get caught up in our own issues and don't tell you what you mean to us. And even if we do remember to say thank you after a heart to heart, a laugh or a hug, it's really not enough.

So, thank you for...

Accepting me as I am.

No matter how much my mascara runs or how out of perspective my opinion is, you never blame me. Thank you for letting me share my twisted point of view free of criticism and judgement.

Being available 24/7.

Whether it's 1:00 a.m. on a Thursday night or 6:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning, you're always there. It still amazes me how many texts you've sent me saying "I'll be right over". Thanks for being close, no matter how far apart we physically are.

Making me laugh.

Your bright spirit and smile light up a room instantly, which I am forever grateful for. You know how to bring humor into any situation and make the toughest times a little more bearable. So, thank you for all of the uncontrollable belly laughs.

Speaking the truth.

All of my questionable decisions have been completely shut down because of you. Thank you for looking out for me and telling it like it is.

Being a good listener.

Sometimes I wonder how you put up with me. I can go on for hours complaining about everything under the sun, while you sit there patiently and nodding along. Thanks for hearing me out for the big things, and being so patient when I ramble on about the little things.

Loving me, always.

People worry when they don't see the two of us together. We are practically inseperable, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thousands of amazing, funny, and even horrific memories come to mind when I think of you. So thank you for being the most amazing friend, supporting me through it all, laughing through life with me, and loving me unconditionally.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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!)
