To My College People

Dear some of my favorite human beings on earth,

Not for one second did I think I'd be addressing a letter like this to people as amazing as you guys. I never thought I'd come to college and meet people so awesome and so similar to me. If I'm being honest, ii's a little difficult to put my thoughts into words about how I truly feel for you all. I've learned to love you guys for who you are individually; my connection with you guys has become so strong that there are no words in the english dictionary that could precisely explain just how much I care for you.

With that being said, I'm just going to begin by thanking you. I've always been the type of person that put effort into friendships I knew would last me a long time; I truthfully didn't think I'd find friendships like that so quickly. Thank you all for being yourselves, first of all. You all teach me so much every single day, and I don't think you even realize it. One thing you all seem to have in common though is that you all teach me how to be a better version of myself. You all always remind me how important it is to smile and remember my worth. Without you guys I know I wouldn't be where I am today.

Thank you for always looking at the brighter side. I know life can get us down sometimes, and that college is so stressful, but you all act as if the world couldn't be more perfect, and you are the happiest you could ever be in your life. The best part about you guys? You always look forward to what tomorrow brings.

There is nobody in this world I would rather tackle college with than you guys. I am so unbelievably blessed to have met you all when I did. You make waking up every morning in a stuffy room on a tiny and not very comfortable bed all the more exciting. You make every single day a new adventure and I love that about you guys.

Thank you for all being almost as obnoxious as me, teaching me how to rally like a champ, eating Droogies with me until our sweat basically turns into milkshakes, reminding me that not every guy is gonna be my Magic Mike, watching One Tree Hill with me until our eyes glaze over, laughing so hard and so loud that the guys on the floor below you have to bang on the ceiling, but for also being able to have a genuine heart to heart when one is due.

These next four years are going to be interesting, to say the least, but I wouldn't want to have anyone else by my side. I can't wait to be trapped in a room with you all next year, and I obviously can't wait to take on Florida with you wonderful people. The memories we've made, and the memories that have yet to come, are ones that I will carry with me forever. You guys have become like family to me in such a short period of time, and you will never truly understand just how much you mean to me.

So, I'm just going to leave it at this... I love you guys. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

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."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

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…
