An Open Letter To My Squad

Dear Squad,

Without your friendships I do not know what my life would have been like at college. Maybe we did not know each other forever let alone all four years but it feels like we have. You guys are the ones that I know I can always come to when I need a drunken night, a nice calm dinner, a shoulder to cry on, a good laugh and a judgement free zone.

The thing that makes us great is we can handle ourselves in any situation but it is sure nice to have you guys right there incase someone gets a little overboard. You guys are the dancing queens, and drinking machines in my life and thank god for that because I can not do it all on my own. Maybe people find us annoying because we really only go out with each other. And maybe people find us clingy, but we really all just get each other.

What is also great is we are not even close to being similar. Every group needs the mom, who makes sure everyone gets home safely. If you do not want to leave with a guy she is right there to pull you away and let the guy know he is no longer needed. Every squad needs that one friend who is always getting into awkward situations and does not know how they get there ever because usually they are the drunkest one. The friend who is always up for a good time no questions asked ever. The friend who you have to kind of push to get them out but once they do they bring the party with them.

We have stories to tell, some of those stories can't go untold. Our friendships are the most valuable to me. We all look forward to spending time together even if it is a movie night with no homework.

You guys are the first people I want to tell good news to. The first people to celebrate any event at any time with and to know that I am here at any given time for you. I know that no matter what, you guys will never judge me. You accept me for me even if I come off completely rude or a little dramatic about situations. Thanks for keeping everything pretty much drama free because none of us need that in our lives.

This is me saying thanks for everything. Thanks for always including me in basically everything, even if I couldn't come. Thanks for sending me snaps on a regular basis so I could keep up with your life. Thanks for making time to skype and text and just catching up with me and caring about me. I could not have done my first round of senior year without you four and I do not know what I am going to do for my last round without any of you. But I know you guys all are going to be doing great things in life and are some of the most intelligent, driven and hard working women I know and I am proud to call you guys my best friends.

Until next time,

I love you squad.

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.
