For The Friend Who Inspires You To Be Your Very Best

Inspiration can come from anywhere really, but when it comes from a person it just means more. It means that someone has impacted your life so much that you felt the need to be better. It means that someone has shown you what the good in the world looks likes and makes you strive to be that good. To my person, this one's for you, for showing me my way.

I've always been a strong-minded person who knew what she wanted but it wasn't until I met you that I knew who I wanted to be. You inspired me to give all the people that I encounter someone to look up to. You inspired me to strive to be an idol for those who need one and a friend to those who didn't have one. From day one you told me that you looked up to me, you told me that you strived to be like me, little did you know that those words meant everything to me.

Ever since hearing that I was someone's person. I knew that I had to be the very best version of myself so I could give you the inspiration that you deserved and every day I worked hard to be just that.

In the classroom, I gave my all to get the grades that I knew you were capable of. If you could see me doing it I knew you would know you were capable of it too.

On the field, I gave 110% to show you that giving your absolute all at all times is possible and it will work out in the end.

In extracurriculars, I dedicated all my time to show you that helping others is rewarding and fulfilling and that we should all help those who need a little extra help.

When I did things, I never asked for recognition because I wanted you to know that you didn't need it.

All in all, thank you. Your inspiration has turned me into the person I am today. I work harder and longer because of you, I think bigger and better because of you, I smile more because of you. Thank you for being the reason that I have been able to touch lives all over, the reason I have helped people who needed my help, the reason that I have served. Most of all though, thank you for showing me that I have a love for all of this. I love leading, I love serving and I love helping.

You telling me that I was your inspiration, in turn, made you mine and I will forever be grateful for the person you have helped shape me into. I am more confident in myself because of you. I am more strong minded because of you. I am more outgoing because of you. I am WHERE I am because your inspiration pushed me to get here, I am WHO I am because you pushed me to be this way.

Sincerely,

Someone who looks up to you, because you said you look up to them.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
