ONE

It was 3 am and you were driving my drunk ass home trying to feed me chicken nuggets yelling at me for not eating. This was in our on off period and I was thinking we were going to be together again soon. I liked that you still cared if I did or didn't eat. I liked that you still cared about me.

It had been so long since I had seen you that I almost forgot the way you smelt, I could have spent all night in the car smelling you tracing the lines on yours hands stealing every kiss possible. But for the first time there was no traffic from the long ride from your house to mine and we made it home in record time. I wish I knew then that would be the last time I saw you.

TWO

It was the last time we spent the day together, we sat in my bed crisscrossed and snacked and talked all day. I thought we were fixing it I thought we were staring over. But when you kissed me goodbye and walked out the door I started to cry. You asked me what was wrong and I said nothing, that was a lie. In my heart I knew that was the last time we would ever kiss.

THREE

I was running through the Brooklyn Pier when a dog walker lost control of the 8 dogs he was walking and I was attacked by puppy love. I wanted to call you and tell you about how many puppies I got to love and play with but we don't talk anymore, I'm not supposed to call and I forgot that.

I remembered when it was your kisses that attacked me, and your puppy love. I tried to remember what it was like kissing you and I couldn't. That killed me.

FOUR

I used to wear your promise ring everyday for nearly a year, I didn't necessarily like the ring but I loved what it meant. I loved what I meant to you. When we broke up I took the ring off and it sits in my ring dish next to my bed. From wearing the ring so long I built up a calus on my finger, everyday I touched it and thought of you but one day it was just gone and when I realized it I sobbed for hours and hours. You had been out of my life for a while but feeling the trace of you gone from my hand somehow made it permit and it broke my heart.

FIVE

I kissed someone else. It wasn't my first kiss after our breakup but it meant more, it was supposed to. It was someone I had a crush on since I was 17, a big epic middle school style crush and I had been chasing him the entire summer we were apart, the week we went back to school he finally kissed me and flirting with me all night in the bar. But when he kissed me it was all wrong, there were no butterflies or satisfaction. It was to aggressive kissing you never felt forced, every time you kissed me it was like I was dying of thirst and you were a cold glass or water and I could never have enough. And honestly kissing someone else just felt so wrong.

SIX

I missed I love you's, I haven't heard one in so long. I mean saying goodbye to my parents I would get a love you bye but it just wasn't the same as someone who doesn't have to love you saying it because they truly mean it through and through.

I was playing with the kids I babysat and one of them said I love you Angelina and it felt real, it meant something to me, it meant everything to me. I missed i love you's after hearing you tell me you didn't love me anymore meant the world to me, because even thought I still missed you it showed me people will love me, and someone will love me again.

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.
