To My Step Parents Who Stepped It Up A Notch

Personal Photos

Step parents always get a bad rap. They are known as the "wicked step parents" in most movies that do terrible things to you when no one is looking or sabotage you to make your life miserable. But after having both a step mother and a step father my whole life, I can tell you with 100% certainty that's FAR from the truth. Step parents like mine are underrated and that's a fact.

A 'thank you' to you both ...

To my stepdad: Thank you for helping me becoming the person I am today and teaching me that it's okay to be myself. Thank you for making me laugh and laughing at my jokes too. Thank you for talking sports with me, even if I don't always know what I'm talking about. Thank you for always taking my car to the shop when my check engine light comes on for the thousandth time. Thank you for ordering that appetizer even when mom says no. Thank you for always being there for me and to help guide me in the right direction. Thank you for giving me three amazing siblings and a roof over my head. Thank you for always making sure I have what I need and more than. Thank you for treating me like nothing less than your own. Thank you for loving me and most importantly, thanks for being what a stepdad is supposed to be.

To my stepmom: Thank you for helping me become who I am today and teaching me to be kind always, no matter how hard it may be. Thank you for showing me the best beauty products. Thank you for letting me be silly. Thank you for helping me find interesting classes to take each semester. Thank you for being the best gift giver and helping me with gift ideas for others, too. Thank you for being there whenever I need you. Thank you for encouraging me to look at the brighter side of things when I can only think of the negative. Thank you for always making sure I have what I need and then some. Thank you for being understanding and caring. Thank you for treating me like nothing less than your own. Thank you for loving me and most importantly, thanks for being what a stepmom is supposed to be.

You guys mean the world to me and I don't tell you enough.

I wouldn't be who I am today without either of you. You guys helped me become me and I couldn't imagine a world without you both. I appreciate you more than you know and all you have done for me throughout my lifetime. I love you both so much, and don't ever forget it!

9 Reasons Your RBF Isn't The Worst Thing

RBF keeps you pretty #sorrynotsorry

Some Life

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

RBF keeps you pretty #sorrynotsorry

2.It makes people think you have higher expectations and standards.

3.Your smile holds a lot more meaning than the girl who walks around with a pleasant grin.

7. But at the same time you haven't had some fun in a while... so, you decide to go because you definitely deserve it.

8. When a cute guy you've been crushing on makes the first move:

9. But when he doesn't text or call you the next day, you decide life sucks

10. But then you remember the Meagle motto:

11. And so you put on your hottest outfit and strut your stuff. Because you're a strong independent woman who don't need no man

12. When someone asks you what you're going to do with your life:

13. But hey, no worries. Leslie figured it out, and you always have this option:

14. And at the end of it all, the only thing that's going to matter is the fact that you...
