An Open Letter To My Daughter.
Angelica collazo

Daughter,

Your existence has made the world around me a brighter, better place. You have changed life as I've known it since the moment I knew you would be mine. Your smile lights up my life and I could never be sad with you in my arms. You're still only a baby, not even old enough to tell me you love me... but I know you understand that I love you.

I can't promise you I'll be the perfect mother, I may not always have everything together. I may mess some things up, but I will always try my hardest to be the mom that you deserve. I will never be too busy for you. I'll push aside anything to make sure you are okay because in the end YOU are everything to me. You will never feel alone, and that is a promise. I will never let you wander lost with no direction, I am here for you every single moment you would like me to be.

I will do by best to make sure you know that you are perfect just the way you are, and you can be anything you want to be. I will never put you down or make you feel silly for something you love, I will be your greatest motivator and your biggest fan. You will be accepted for everything you are, nothing more and nothing less.

We may not always have the nicest clothes, and the biggest house, and the newest latest technology. But I can promise we will always have each other my beautiful girl, you will always have a house full of love. I intend to fill your heart with as much happiness as I possibly can, and I intend to ease your pain with laughter.

I will raise you to enjoy the beauty of life and to appreciate all the little things, because in fact, that is what life is about. I can only hope through out your life you will take a step down from whatever you're doing and appreciate something small and precious, and think of your childhood, and of course me.

My dear daughter, I know there is no such thing as perfect, and I know that being you're parent will be the hardest thing I will ever do, but I will do these things for you. I may give you peanut butter when you asked for nutella, and there may be times when I am having an awful day and I'm being moody. But I hope you always know that I love you with every fiber of my being.

Love,

Your mom.

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
