A letter to the girl

A letter to the girl who has thrown on that fake smile for far too long.

A letter to the girl

To the girl, I see you. Your the one who smiles at almost anything, but deep down your hurting, you know that if you didn't have that fake smile pasted on your face you would be balling your eyes out. The ones who honestly know you know that that is not the smile from that happy girl that they once knew. They don't ask questions, they just smile along.

To this girl I need to tell you this, i am that girl. I am you. We once were some of the happiest people around, and in the blink of an eye everything fell apart. We kept to ourselves knowing that relying on someone would only cause us more pain than what we would have the ability to handle. It takes everything we have to put on that brave face to be there for friends who are near and dear to us. No matter what is going on with us we are there one hundred percent, what ever they need we support them.


We will get through this. This fake smile we have been wearing for far too long will eventually fade away. We will meet someone or something will come alone and eventually that fake smile will be gone and slowly we will get that smile back that we thought would be gone forever. It may take weeks, or even months, there will be times where we will want to throw in the towel on life. But we wont no matter how challenging it gets we got our vibe back and we wont loose it again.

My promise to you is this. You will make it. You will get your happiness back and you wont ever let it go again, You will be okay,



xoxo, the girl who is you.

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.
