We all have those moments when we act without thinking -- and the results can range from incredibly embarrassing to absolutely devastating. If you're like me, this happens on the daily.

1. Bought a song on iTunes.

Because let's face it -- unless you want something by Adele or Taylor Swift, pretty much everything else is on Spotify. Dag nabbit!

2. Worn rain boots because you thought it was going to rain, but alas -- no rain.

Now your feet are all warm and sweaty and those boots are Just so clunky, damn!

3. Texted the wrong person something like: "Hey babe ;)" Oh crap!

4. Raised your hand in class...and totally forgot your point. C'mon!

5. Ordered pizza at 12:30 a.m., and then had to keep yourself up for another 45 minutes until it arrived.

Food is greater than sleep.

6. Went out when you had a lot of work to do.

The agony.

7. Didn't hold the door for the person behind you...and they're in your next class.

So awkward.



8. Spent over 15 dining dollars in one day -- Must gain self-control.

9. Signed up for too many college clubs -- The overcommitment!

10. Ordered the Uber too early. Everyone hurry up!

11. Hit snooze one too many times. Are you kidding?!

12. Waved back to someone who wasn't actually waving to you. Oh, the embarrassment.

13. Bought a non-returnable item online. I swore it was gonna fit me!

14. Called a professor, boss, or significant other "Mom" or "Dad" by accident. What just happened?!

15. Ordered the wrong thing at a restaurant. Well, this was worth the $14.95!

16. Sworn in front of an elderly person, person of authority, or basically anyone else you're not supposed to swear in front of.

I take it back!

I know I don't say it enough, so let me start off by saying thank you.

You'll never understand how incredibly blessed I am to have you in my life. You'll also never understand how special you are to me and how much I love you.

I can't thank you enough for countless days and nights at your house venting, and never being too busy when I need you. Thank you for the shopping days and always helping me find the best deals on the cutest clothes. For all the appointments I didn't want to go to by myself. Thank you for making two prom days and a graduation party days I could never forget. Thank you for being overprotective when it comes to the men in my life.

Most importantly, thank you for being my support system throughout the numerous highs and lows my life has brought me. Thank you for being honest even when it isn't what I want to hear. Thank you for always keeping my feet on the ground and keeping me sane when I feel like freaking out. Thank you for always supporting whatever dream I choose to chase that day. Thank you for being a second mom. Thank you for bringing me into your family and treating me like one of your own, for making me feel special because you do not have an obligation to spend time with me.

You've been my hero and role model from the time you came into my life. You don't know how to say no when family comes to you for help. You're understanding, kind, fun, full of life and you have the biggest heart. However, you're honest and strong and sometimes a little intimidating. No matter what will always have a special place in my heart.

There is no possible way to ever thank you for every thing you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Thank you for being you.

It's starting to hit me.

I've been in school, year after year, since kindergarten. Maybe even pre-school!

Now, I'm about to graduate with my bachelors in communication and I couldn't be more proud of myself. I'll say it. I often sugarcoat it or suppress it but d*mn it. I'm going to applaud myself. It was hard work. It took a lot of motivation, determination, (caffeine), and willpower to get to where I am today. I worked my ass off.

That being said, I can't help but think... What is life without due dates? What is life like without scrambling to turn in an assignment that's due at 11:59 PM? What is life like with actual sleep? Sleep? I don't know her.

Like I keep telling my boyfriend and my parents, I don't have it all figured out. At least not right now. But I will, and I'm in no rush to land my dream job right now. If anything, I want to take a year to myself. I want to travel. I want to sleep in if I d*mn well please! I want to read as many books as I want. I want to write till my fingers fall off (OK, maybe not that).

You get the jist.

I'm free. I can do and be whatever I want. And you know what? That's terrifying.

I'm lost. I've followed this structure for so long. Now what?

I don't have all the answers yet. But for now, at least right at this very moment, I'm so thankful to have been able to receive such an amazing education. And to be able to say I'm graduating with my bachelors in communication at 21 is an accomplishment in itself.
