Thank you for being my person.

To The Person I Know I Can Trust
roryvaden

I seem to come off as a really trustworthy person because I am an open book, but that's truly not the case. I have had people stab me in the back, pretend to be my friend, and take advantage of me. I have been hurt and bruised by people who I once thought I could trust. So really in reality, I don't trust people easily. That is, I don't trust people with my emotions, body, or life. It takes a long time for me to feel as if I can open up to someone. Then you came along. It was like you were sent to me to prove that I can trust someone completely.

Something about you is different from what I am used to. I feel protected when I am by your side. I know you would not let anyone hurt me. You hate seeing me hurt, and you always make sure that I am safe and alright.

I trusted you right from the beginning:

-You walked with me in the dark one night so I wouldn't have to walk alone.
-You always make sure I'm okay emotionally before you say goodbye or leave.
-You have me text you when I get home safely (whether I walked or drove).
-You make me feel comfortable in your presence. I am comfortable sleeping by you, which is one of my most vulnerable physical states.
-You hold me tight, and deep down, I know you wouldn't let anything bad happen to me because you love me.
-You hate seeing me cry, and you don't always understand my emotions, but you listen anyway.
-I don't drink, but if I did I know you'd make sure I was okay and nobody touched me. You'd protect me. I know you would.
-You have even distanced yourself from me because you were worried you were going to hurt me. But let's face it, you were worried about getting hurt as well.
-You check up on me and ask how I am everyday.
-You let me vent to you and I know what I say stays between us.

You have become my sense of home. My home away from home, if you will. I always go to you because I know I can trust you. I know you love me and will do everything in your power to protect me. I love you so much. Not only for that, but also for being the way that you are.

You care about me and make me so comfortable. My comfort does not come easily, but with you it did. I've never felt so safe with another human being before. I tend to have the idea that "people suck" because everyone tends to hurt me in one way or another, and sometimes people betray my trust in them, but you've created an environment where I feel comfortable and at home. I have your back as well. I'll always be there for you and provide you with comfort. Thank you for being the person I can trust.

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?

sisters

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.

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!)
