An Open Letter To My Best Friend At Home

When can I see you again?

An Open Letter To My Best Friend At Home
Trisha Hassfurder

I love you more than you know.

And I wish you could have came here with me. We could have made friends, explored, and learned together, like we did at home.

It really sucks that you're still in high school. We could have gone on this grand adventure of leaving our small town in the dust together.

Instead, we have to settle for only seeing one another on my school breaks.

I miss you a lot.

I miss eating ice cream at your house until 1 a.m. on school nights and walking your dog around the block until the sun goes down. I miss making desserts together, and eating them all before your dad could get any. I miss playing board games with you and your mom. I miss telling you I'm coming over, and being there in 10 minutes or less.

I don't know exactly what's going on in your life anymore, just as you don't know details about mine, and it absolutely breaks my heart.

I have best friends at college too, and they're wonderful and you would like them a lot and they would like you. I can't wait until all of you can finally meet each other. I promise they wont take your place.

I started watching your favorite series on Netflix because it reminds me of you and that makes it so much better. I'm on season five now.

I tell everyone I know all about my best friend at home that likes goats, is in a rival high school, and does color guard. They might know you better than some of your own classmates.

Our nonstop snapchats of outfit choices, death threats, disgusting faces, and sweet 'i miss you's are some of the best parts of each day. I love when you tag me on social media in random pictures that make you think of me.

The absolute best part about coming home for a few days is always to see my dog and you.

I know this summer, I will see you every moment I possibly can and we will have the best time of our entire lives and maybe we can go on vacation and camping and swimming and watch an entire season of Netflix in one setting.

But I'll still have to leave in the fall and you'll still have to stay.

Maybe next year you can come up to visit me on weekends and I can go home more often.

We will keep in touch like we are right now, using Twitter, Snapchat, texts, calls, and Facetime. But, I promise I'll be home as soon as possible every time I leave, because I love you and I miss 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.
