I wish I could say it was nice knowing you but you never gave me a chance.

I wish I could say it was nice knowing you but you never gave me a chance. I guess that really doesn't matter anymore. I don't understand what I ever did to you but the reasoning behind that doesn't matter anymore either. See, none of this matters because your existence that temporarily came between my best guy friend and I is irrelevant. It was pretty obvious you never liked me but I always hoped you would come around to. Not because I wanted to be best friends with you, but because I know the girl that gets along with me will be good enough for my best guy friend.

You threatened me countless times with your petty insecure comments so, because I didn't have patience to deal with your immature attitude, I decided it would be best to not talk to my guy friend for a short period of time. I say short period of time because I took a break from communicating with him knowing you would find other ways to ruin your relationship with him and I was right. Now I'm back in his life and he has moved on to another that isn't you. I can't honestly say I'm surprised. I knew during the time him and I didn't talk you thought in your mind that you won. However, that was your mistake.

The girl that is right for my best guy friend will not have to compete to win his love and attention. Why? Well because he isn't a prize and neither are you. Relationships in general aren't about winning. They are built on an equal amount of respect and trust. Something as his, "little sis," I knew from the first conversation we had that you and your relationship with him lacked. He isn't only my best friend but also a big brother to me. Just like the siblings we metaphorically are we don't always agree on each others views of others. That explains why you lasted as long as you did. If you got the vibes the few times we talked that I didn't like you, I sincerely apologize. I want the best for him and you weren't showing me that. I wanted to hear why you liked him so much and how you were different from every other girl he fell for. All that you said and did confirmed to me that you wouldn't last. Don't get me wrong, you deserve to be happy just like everyone else, just not with my best guy friend.

All the times you accused us and especially me of being more than friends just made me laugh. So when you do find that person you're meant to be with, I hope you can have enough trust built up in your relationship to know that the person you're with can have other female friends. If you can't find it in yourself to trust his non-romantic relationships with other females, just as you didn't trust my friend, then maybe you aren't ready for a relationship. That's okay though because I believe a person grows with each relationship they have because there are always lessons to be learned from them. Any girl that has a guy best friend will agree that we only want to see him happy just like we want all our other friends to be happy. One day he will introduce me to his new girl and I'll know if she's his temporary thing like all the others or his forever. I'll also defend him when she is in the wrong and knock some sense into him when he is in the wrong. I say and mean all of this with one thought in my mind. I know he would feel the same towards any guy I dated or I have yet to date. Just like any other friend he has my back and I have his.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
