Everything I am, You helped me to be.

Mom,

I want to start off by saying that this day is all about you. It is a day to celebrate you and all that you have done for this family. All that you have done for me. I'm sitting here trying to find the words to describe you, but its nearly impossible because a million things come to my mind. You taught me so much of everything I know. You showed me the way and lead me on the path to becoming the person I am today. You taught me to always stay humble and kind. You taught me that it's okay to be sensitive, but also to not worry so much about what others think of me. You showed me how to be a good person, because after all, you are the greatest person there is. Everyone who knows you is touched by your friendliness and incredible heart. I grew up wanting to be you and hoping that one day I would be become half the woman you are. I saw from an early age that your beauty was not only external, but internal as well. You've always been able to call me out when I needed it in order to become a better and stronger person. You know what I need before I even do. I know that no matter what time of the day it is, that you are only one call away. Within you, Mom, I have found not only a Mom but a friend, and a role model. You got me through the hard times, you supported me in the good times, and you never failed to assure me that I can do anything I put my mind to. I'd like to think God made me your daughter for a reason, because he knew you were exactly what I needed. You raised me and my siblings in the best way possible, with love. Mom, you guided me to my faith showing me that above all, God has a plan. I could not imagine a life where I wouldn't have you next to me every step of the way. In a world, where not everyone is lucky enough to be blessed with a Mother, I thank my lucky stars everyday that you are the woman who raised me. I am sorry if there has ever been a moment where you've thought you haven't done your job. Every good quality I possess, I've gained through your wisdom and by walking your footsteps. There is a quote I found online that I believe describes us perfectly, "Always together, Never apart, Maybe in distance, But never at heart." Even though I am not living right down the hall from you anymore, you're always with me. Every pivotal moment of my life, whether you are there physically or not, you are there with me. No matter how far apart we will be, I know you are always there to hold my hand and touch my heart. Mom, I am nothing without you, you are my whole world. Thank you for teaching me how to live a life through Christ and a life full of love and strength. I love you, Happy Mother's Day.

With Love,

Your daughter

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
