The Next Two Weeks

I'm about to enter the crazy period.

Within the next two weeks, I will have been the first in my family to graduate college and I will finally marry my best friend. I've made it through three and a half years at Berea College and graduated with my degree in Business Administration and Accounting. I'm made it through six months of hectic wedding planning. It all comes down to these next two weekends. Here's my thoughts and thank-yous to everyone in my life:

1) Thank you, Nana for taking care of the food and most of the decorations. You have no idea how much you've kept my stress level down during the wedding planning portion of this semester and for always being happy to see or hear from me each day and every weekend.

2) Thank you to my college bestie, Kayla. Even tonight as we sit here and you coach me through makeup and face masks to help my horribly dry skin, you've been there for me throughout the whole time at Berea. Who knew the "random" girl from my first-semester trigonometry class and second semester "random" roommate would become so important to me?

3) Thank you to another college best friend, Wyatt. From the days I texted you asking your opinion on colors or the times I've dragged you (and Kayla and Brooke) to Richmond to help me go look at wedding stuff, you've never seemed uninterested. For the nights, we've holed up in my room and watched movies for hours, you'll always be one of the best (especially on the Rom-Com nights).

4) Thank you to Justin, who's helped me maintain my sanity throughout this crazy college ride and plan the wedding that we've both always wanted to have. I know I've driven you nuts the past couple months but I can't wait to marry you next weekend! <3

5) Thank you to everyone who's helped me through this crazy part of my life. These are just some of the people I want to mention. There are so many more that deserve a moment in the spotlight. That's why this is only Part One of this post. Next weekend means five to ten more thank-yous and love-yous.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.

It's almost as if the professors all plot against you just to make college even more stressful than it already is. No matter how many people try to make you feel better, no one ever compares to your mom. Moms always know exactly what to say.
