To the Person I Look Up to the Most,

Mom, I don’t even know where to begin. You have been with me through fire and ice, thick and thin, the good times and the bad. I couldn’t imagine my life without you.

Ever since I was born, I've been your “Baby Girl”, and today, even though I’m older and in college, I still love it when you text me, “Love you, baby girl.” Thank you for all the amazing themed birthday parties, great trips, and the little things you taught me early on in life. You raised me as a Christian who forgives people and is always kind. You showed me what it means to be a follower of Christ. You taught me to never give up and follow my dreams. You give advice that I will cherish as I move on into my adult life and away from being under your roof. And even though at some moment I might have disliked you, you said no to things I now understand why. You taught me that some boys just aren’t worth the heartache or tears--that I’ll move on and I will find my king sooner or later.

I know I can be frustrating. I know I'm a messy person, and I don’t like cleaning. I know I stay up too late some nights, and then I'm super tired the next day and have no desire to do anything. I know I spend way too much money on unnecessary things, only to come back a week later and ask you for money. But because of you, I want to try to be a, cleaner, more awake, and better-budgeted person.

So, to the person I look up to the most, thank you for always being there for me and loving me. I couldn’t imagine having anyone different as a mom.

Love,

Your Baby Girl

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

If you were born between September 23rd - October 22nd, then you are a Libra. Let's be real, Libras are the best because you are the perfect balance of all things in life. Some may find this boring, but they don't know anything about what it means to be all things at once. As Libras, we hold much on our shoulders that no one can understand. These are traits you know to be true if you are a Libra:

While being home for break this week and picking up hours at work, I remember what it is like to in fast food. Although there are many aspects to the job, the customers are always number one priority. Anyone who works in fast food knows that you come across these types of customers AT LEAST once a day:
