An Open Letter To An Elementary School Crush
Logan Blount

Dear you (yeah, you)

It has been far too long since we have seen one another. I hope you are following your dreams, and working towards making a name for yourself just as I am. I still have the memories of us joking around and enjoying each other’s company, and I hope you still have them too.

I’ll admit that you were the person everyone told me I like, and I would deny it so fast. You were the person who everyone made fun of regarding liking one another, but neither of you (or just you) never owned up to your true feelings (mainly because you were too young in your parent’s eyes to have a significant other). I imagined life with you at such a young age, and hoped that you and I would be together within the next 10 years. The only thing that held us back was I did not want to ruin the relationship/friendship we already have with you. All I wanted from life with you was to allow us to get closer as the years went on.

Sometime I do not like to think that all hope is gone, and everything is lost. But sometimes you are farther away than I can even wrap my mind around. Seriously you were beyond important to me and I just want you to be aware of this

All of the hope you built up is completely shattered from caring so much about what could happen between you two in the future. Once you left it’s like the world becomes a much different place without your partner in crime. I have come to the realization that you could be happier without me (maybe, probably not) but mainly because I was not the only one you left behind. Some days I would do anything to stop you from leaving who we were because I know we could have fallen in love. After all this time we could have been an “it couple,” gone to prom together, and cheered on our favorite teams.

Maybe one day when our stars cross we end up crossing paths (I don’t know, we’ll see).

Sincerely, the one you did not let get away

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.
