Nana ,

It has now been about a month since you passed on into the next life. Boy has life changed in one short month. Your grandson, Austin, turned 16 he can now get his permit which is crazy. Grace, your granddaughter, made the High school soccer team.

It is so weird to think that you aren't here anymore to hear about all of these accomplishments going on within our family. When I was little I saw you every single day, and now I will never see you again. When I think about this for a long period of time it makes me sad, but then I look up and you always show me a sign that you are there in some way. On the day of your funeral, which happened to be Austin's birthday, you gave us the sign that everything would be okay when you shined the sunlight on him because you knew it was his birthday.

Parkinson's ruined your body, but your mind was somewhat intact until the very end of your journey here on Earth. The last time I saw you was truthfully hard because you couldn't remember who I was and it made me sad, but I knew deep down that you knew in your heart that I was your eldest grandchild. The type of Parkinson's that you had was the worst we were told. It affected more than your body. It affected your mind and mimicked Alzheimer disease.

Nana, even though you are gone, you will never leave me. You will always be my guardian angel. Thank you for the times that I spent with you. My favorite memories will always be singing. God bless America with you.

I love you forever,

Maggie your eldest

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
