An Open Letter To My Person

You're Kind of the Best Thing Since Cake

An Open Letter To My Person
tumblr

You know who you are. The person who knows me better than I know myself. My best friend, partner in crime, fellow cookout enthusiast, gym buddy, fellow beach-goer. The person who loves me when I can't love myself. The person who isn't afraid to tell me when I'm full of crap (in a loving way, of course). To the person who came into my life at just the right time, I can't thank you enough. You have been an answered prayer. I didn't expect you to come when you did. When we first met, I didn't know you were going to be "my person." I thought that was a phrase saved especially for Grey's Anatomy. I didn't know it happened in real life. I didn't know you could truly trust someone with so much of yourself- so much of your heart- and have them understand you and support you the way you have done for me. Most people run when things get tough. They're there for you when it's convenient for them, but most of the time they don't stay. You've laughed with me, cried with me, seen me in my worst moments and in my best moments. And you chose to stick it out. You chose to stay. You have allowed me to be myself in a world that consistently wants to change me. You have broken so many barriers and knocked down so many walls. You have made such a positive change in my life in such a short period of time that I am still in awe of God's timing. He knew I needed someone like you, and He placed you in my life and my heart for such a time as this. So thanks for being my person. I don't know how I made it without you, and I'm super psyched that I don't have to anymore.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
