And The Mother Of The Year Award Goes To...

Mom, you are the greatest person I know. You are my number one fan, love to have fun, you know how to laugh at yourself, raised me to be a strong independent woman and how to love life and let go. Throughout my life, I have seen many obstacles, but what is interesting to me, is that you never let that stop you. When life knocks you down, you find the energy to get back up and continue on. I am sorry for anything that I said to you out of anger or when I was a tween. I felt that I knew everything. I'm not sure how you didn't want to get rid of me when I was 3 and wanted a candle.

I'm sorry for everything that I have done to cause your heart to break. I know that I can talk to you about anything. There is no subject that is not spoken freely. Thank you for being there when I was at my darkest. Never once did you stop believing in me even when I didn't believe in myself. You are the strongest person I know. Just know that I will always be here for you, no matter what. It doesn't matter where life takes us, know that I will be with you through it all. After all, you did it for me.

I can't even comprehend all of the sacrifices you have to make for my sisters and I. Thank you for taking care of me in the middle of the night when I would scream until someone came, thank you for taking me to the doctors when I was sick, thank for putting us first, and thank you for everything you do to make sure we have the care we need. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be who I am today. In 19 years you have taught me so many life lessons and raised me to be independent. I know that when in public to have manners. I have learned to have a drive and passion because I see how you go through life every day.

Your cooking is delicious!!!! I love when you cook and especially when I get to help you in the kitchen. Those times are my favorite because I'm with you.

Our relationships couldn't be any better. You are my best friend. Since day 1 you were by side and nothing has changed. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Even though I'm at college I still need my mom. In class or at my dorm, I wonder what's happening at home, what are they having for dinner, how was their day, or how is my mom holding up.

There isn't another mom out there like you. I'm not sure how I was blessed with such an amazing mom. I learned how to raise my future children, what morals and lessons to teach them and to always support them in their dreams.

I don't want to imagine life without you. Mom you are strong, loving, fearless, and independent. No matter what happens in the future, our friendship will never die. Not only are you my mom, but you are my best friend. I want you to know that I appreciate you more than you can even imagine. If there ever is a time that we are apart, just keep me close to your heart and that's where I shall stay until the end of time. I love you to the moon and back!!!!!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
