1. Forgive the people who have hurt you

There's a lot more to life than being bitter. Holding a grudge is hurting you more than them.

2. Take up a charity

Whether it is donating your time or money, there is no better feeling than making a difference. I promise, you won't regret this.

3. Tell the people that you love that you love them

You never know how much time people have left on this Earth. Even if it's scary, it's always the right time.

4. Quit that job you hate

There is nothing more important in this world than your happiness. No job is worth that. Period.

If someone has impacted your life, tell them! There is no better feeling than knowing you're appreciated.

I know you think you're no where close to retirement, but putting away a little money each year will make all the difference in the world. You'll thank me later.

9. Stop being so hard on yourself

It's time you realize that you are doing the best you can. Love yourself, take care of yourself, and stop thinking you have to be perfect.

10. Forgive Yourself

Everyone makes mistakes. Forgive yourself for not knowing then what you know now.

11. Reach out to an old friend 

Odds are they've been dying to talk to you but they're too scared. Take the first step, I know you miss them.

12. Spend extra time with family

I know you don't always get along, but at the end of the day, they'll always have your back. Appreciate them while they're still around.

13. Study hard for your finals

I know you're tired, but you're so close to the end. Give it everything you got these next few weeks. Make yourself proud.

Something popped into your head didn't it? This is your sign. It's time to stop making excuses.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
