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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
