Dear Future Daughter

I'll be there for you

Dear Future Daughter
dsgnmom

To my future daughter,

You will never go a day without my love. I will be there for you through every journey. Every tear. Every smile. Every day. My life will solely revolve around making yours the best it can be. I will be your biggest supporter, your loudest cheerleader, your go-to gal.

Be exactly who you want to be. Love yourself. Do not think for one second that you need to disguise yourself as someone you aren't. Be true. You were born to be unique. Don't ever let somebody influence your dreams, your aspirations, your values. Express yourself however you please.

You are smart. You will find yourself in miserable situations. You will cry and you will feel stupid. Meltdowns are necessary and completely human. God will only put challenges in your life that he knows you can handle. Whatever you face, you will get through it one way or another. You will feel intense feelings of accomplishment. You will feel intense feelings of defeat. And that's okay.

Don't let somebody make you feel like you aren't good enough. When you tell me you're in love, I'll believe you. When you tell me that you got your heart broken, I will be there for you. Remember that if something is meant to be, it'll be. Sometimes your life has to fall apart for the right things to fall together. You will meet many people and you will take chances. But one day the right one will come along and you'll realize why everything else didn't work out.

Never give up, especially on yourself. When times get tough, get tougher. Face your demons. Take what you get and handle it the best you can. Use your family and your friends for support, that's what they are there for. Don't lose faith. If it's important to you, accomplish it.

You're never alone. Never hesitate to lean on me. I'm yours.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
