To The Woman My Father Will Love After My Mother
Rachel Williams
Dear my father's next (current) love,

A lot of people I go to school with hate their step parents due to different stereotypes, but I don't hate you at all. I love you very much, and I want to thank you for so many things that you have done for me. So this article is for you. You aren't a step-parent to me, you are another parent to me. We have had so many good times and laughs together these past two years and I wouldn't trade them for anything. You always know when I am upset and always ask me what is wrong. Yes, we have had our ups and downs, but every parent and their child has ups and downs, it's normal.

Everything that we have been through has only made us a stronger family. Thank you for all the jokes we have shared together and all the selfies you have taken with me because you know I am the selfie queen. I am so lucky that my father found you and chose you to be in our family instead of someone else, haha you know who I am talking about. You have been a mother figure in my life since 2014 when we have first met and I have learned so much from you. I look up to you so much and if it wasn't for you, I don't know how I would be right now. Every teenage girl needs a mother figure in their life and since my mother doesn't live close by you are that to me.

Without you, my father would be lonely and sad. Thank you for always being there for my father when he needed someone the most. Without you, he would have had to do everything on his own, especially raising me and we all know that's a bit of a challenge. Thank you for loving my father. I know he can be a handful at times, but you always remember why you love him so much. Also, thank you for everything you've provided me with. Thank you for everything that you have bought and given to me that you didn't have to do, but you did.

You did not carry me in your stomach for nine months, give birth to me, and raise me from the day I was born, but you still treat me like I am your daughter and I am forever grateful for that. Not only did you give my father and I a home, food, water, etc., but you also gave us Christmas gifts. You have given me things that a real parent should give to their child. You are such a wonderful and beautiful person inside and out, and you are more than just a step-parent to me. You contradict all the negative stereotypes that the media portrays toward step-parents. So thank you for the many things you've done for my father and me, even the small stuff.

I love you very much.

Your chica,
Rach

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
