Dear Mom and Dad

Thanks for letting me over-stress and be my grumpy self, even when there is nothing to stress or be grumpy about

Dear Mom and Dad,

As you know very well by now, I'm not the sappiest person on the planet. In fact, just the other day we were having a conversation about how very...well, grumpy I can be. I don't mean to seem angry or unhappy, I'm just not good at expressing my feelings in the same way that others are. I want to take a moment though, and truly express to you how thankful I am for all that you do.

A few weeks ago, you moved me into college for the second time. You guys were moving all over the place, trying to put things away and set things up. It was cramped with all of us in there and you guys kept asking me a hundred questions; I was getting stressed, I admit. I'm sorry I made you leave so quickly, but after you were gone I finally had a chance to look around my room. Mom, you made my bed and I want to say, thank you so much. There was just something so nice about knowing that, even though I still had a lot of stuff to put away, I could always rest in my bed.

Thank you for everything you guys did leading up to this moment. Dad, you fixing my car for me was stressful and I'm so thankful that you did it. You stepped up to help me when I really needed it and that means so much. I had a lot of fun staying up with you until 1 AM with you while you worked to fix it and I'm sorry I couldn't stay up longer.

There are so many little things I want to thank you for too. Thanks for letting me be late on my rent sometimes. Thanks for letting me go hide in my bedroom and watch Netflix after a long day of work, even when you wanted to talk to me. Thanks for letting me over stress and be my grumpy self, even when there was nothing to stress or be grumpy about. Thanks for being my best friends, and my number one fans, and the first people to tell me when I've said something dumb (and then torture me relentlessly about it). Thanks for never taking me too seriously, except for when I want to be taken seriously. Thank you for making me who I am today: stubborn, hard-working, dedicated, and someone who just wants to be a great daughter.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

As any other person on this planet, it sometimes can be hard to find the good in things.

Finding the good in any situation can help you to find happiness in some of the simplest and unexpected places.

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
