20 Reasons I'm Thankful For My "Person"

Thanks for just being you and loving me where I'm at.

Life is a journey that seems like a roller coaster a majority of the time. I go from being extremely excited about something in life to an emotional wreck the next. I go through random phases of "leave me alone" or "please don't leave me," and you came into my life at just the right time in order for me to have these phases. Had it not been for you and everything we've been through in life already, I don't know where I would be.

You came into my life and we went through the awkward "I don't really know how to trust you" phase to always being together and getting on each other's ever living nerves from being together a little too much. You've been a friend, a sister, but now you're just simply "my person" and I could not thank you enough for coming into my life when you did.

Thank you...

1. For always being honest with me, even when it hurts.

2. For our random spontaneous adventures.

3. For always knowing how to make me laugh especially when I'm beyond the point of pissed.

4. For being petty with me when someone pisses me off.

5. For encouraging me to be myself and be who I want to be every single day.

6. For teaching me that it's okay to be different and weird.

7. For always blaring the best jams in the car with me.

8. For every "Friends" episode we have binge watched over and over again.

9. For being apart of my family.

10. For always listening to me even though I've probably talked about this issue five times before.

11. For picking me up when I am down.

12. For reminding me where my worth is found.

13. For every time you've stayed in because I don't want to go out.

14. For taking care of me when I forget to take care of myself.

15. For always being down to hang out and have fun times.

16. For making my big and small accomplishments a big deal.

17. For allowing me to trust in you and confide in you daily.

18. For always being my alarm clock and reminder during the day.

19. For never staying mad at me for too long.

20. For sharing your life with me and being my person. I don't know what life would be without you.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

3. I will go to the gym more.

4. I will go to the library and study more.

5. I will meet new people.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
