The Homesick College Freshman

I love the college life, but I really miss home!

The Homesick College Freshman

I’m homesick. Well, not really homesick, just missing home is all. Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely days where I am glad to be living on my own and making my own experiences out of the life I’m living as a college student. But sometimes, you just miss your mom’s cooking, or your dad’s hugs, or fighting with your sister, or wrestling with your brother. A place where your cats roam free and wild and there is always a bed to crawl home too. Well, that’s my house anyway, but everyone has a place like that. Whether it be your family home, a family member's house, a playground, a sports field etc, there’s nothing better than a place to call home.


So mom, thank you for always listening to me complain about my problems and braiding my hair. For making sure I was always fine when I wasn’t at my best and making sure I always looked my best. I could never thank yiu eniugh. You were not only my best friend, but also a great mother and role model and I couldn’t ask for a better example. You are the perfect medium between strict and easy-going and I’m glad I grew up knowing more about myself because of it. I love you! Thank You!



Dad, thank you for being such a great model of hard work. You always gave me a reason to work harder even when I though I did my hardest and taught me to never give up or in. You made me understand that Boswell’s never give anyone a reason to look down on us or think less of us because we were great and powerful in our own way. Teaching me to never care what other’s think and to always stay true to myself has always been a life motto and I promise to make sure the people around me and my kids know the power of the Boswell.



Jaylen, thanks for always being my second ears. I don’t think there is a closer person to me than you and I thank you for that. It is always a great thing to have someone close to you to always talk to and share your burdens and strifes with, not to mention dance and freestyle rap with, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be with than you. Thank you for always giving me some of the best advice of my life and always being by my side when I needed you. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be a great big brother. Thank you!




Lastly Jaream, Now, I know I don’t say this often, but I love you. I know I don’t treat you the best and I take your shoes and I make you do things for me , but I really do appreciate all that you’ve done. I’m glad I got to grow up with a little sister because now I know what it feels like to live with someone the complete opposite of me. Yes, it is annoying at times but, I don’t think I would trade it or anything. Because of you I had a best friend that I never had to leave home to hang out with or completely be a jerk too. I know I wasn’t the nicest all the time, but thank you for always being there for me. I love you.



So thank you guys. Thank you for being my home. Whether it was a call up at school when I wasn’t feeling my best, or even sending up money when I was broke from all the colleging I’ve been doing. You’ve alway been my home and I love you guys. Thank you, and I can’t wait to see you again.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
