Dear Diary,

I started to write, today I told the children about the story of when their loyal mother, Janey, met my marvelous mother, Mary.

I started to say the wonderful, heart-warming story to my enthusiastic children, "It was a sunny day in Nebraska, and I was reading the newspaper, Omaha Daily Bee. While I was reading the informational and interesting, newspaper, Janey was working very hard today, but she would not let me help her. She is so stubborn sometimes.

Her exact words were that she exclaimed angrily were," No you cannot help me. Now tell me how your family is doing, and I still have not met them!"

I replied to her," All right, but I forgot to tell you that my mother and Josh are coming over, so you can finally meet my mother."

I excitedly started to tell the children the Gronkowski history and how they were doing, as I continued to write frantically. I am twenty years old. I married your mother, Janey when I was nineteen years old, but my mother never got to see her because we ran away. Today is our anniversary on June 19, 1942. To this day I continued to believe that my bossy brother was demanding. My kind, outstanding mother and my bossy brother, Josh, owned a little shop in the Loop of the bitter state of Chicago. They teach children how to play the black and white piano. Kitty my strongly loving sister still works at the Loop typing. She had aggressively gotten through the Great Depression. As all good was happening, when I was eleven, my father had died. He was trying to get through the Great Depression independently but was not able to.

After that the children had shouted, "Wow! There was so much history we did not know in that!"

Then, the doorbell conveniently rang as I was too depressed to acknowledge the rest of the grand story. The children went to their rooms.

I asked Janey," Ready to meet my mom?"

Janey replied to me," As ready as I will ever be."

They delightfully opened the door to greet Josh and Mary.

Mom and Josh excitedly uttered, "Hi Josh and Janey!"

I answered," Hi guys! This is Janey, Janey this is my mom and you remember Josh."

Janey replied," Yes! Hello Mrs. Grondowski and Josh."

Mary exclaimed," Please call me Mary after all you are part of the family know!"

The two women went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and get to know each other, while the two brothers went into the living room to catch up.

Josh requested me to tell him how it felt like to live far away from Chicago's brittle, cold winters, and how the helpful Lonnie was doing.

I excitedly answered," It feels great and we have spectacular weather down here in Nebraska! Lonnie is doing great, and he got a raise. Unfortunately, he is not here, he is in Louisiana, but I will surely tell him that you were here."

Josh replied, "Thanks brother I owe you one!"

Towards the end of the day Mom and Janey yell," Boy dinner is ready! It is black bean soup with bread!"

I whispered to Josh," Just like the old times!"

After dinner and a bit more talking mom and Josh left.

I shouted to the car," Remember to call us when you get there!"

Josh shouts his reply back," We will definitely call you when we get there!"

That was the end of the story I told the kids, and I put then to sleep. After they were asleep, Janey and I started to clean up the kitchen. The stubborn Janey needed my help today, and I happily helped her! As I did the dished, I started to hum my exclusive father song, Goalru, nosily, but Janey stopped me to remind the kids were asleep. Then I thought and wished that my strict and fun dad was here with me.

I tearfully said," Life can be good, it may not be happy, but it feels excellent to have you, the children, my mom, and Josh on my side. I have been blessed with greatness in this world. I love you, Janey."

Janey, who was already crying, answered, "I love you too Joey!"

Janey and I hugged until we stopped crying because we loved each other so much, and always have and will bless each other till the end.

Best Regards,

Your vast companion Joey

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
