An Open Letter To My People

Thanks for being there no matter what and loving me through it all.

My people,

I am writing to you guys to say thank you. We've only been friends for a couple of months but you guys have been my biggest supporters and encouragers. You guys have seen the tears and the melt-downs and have been there to pick me back up if I'm laughing it's probably because one of y'all made a joke or I remember something that happened (like someone falling down the stairs). When things have felt like they were crumbling you guys were there to tell me it's gonna be okay, encourage me, hug me and shove food in my mouth.

You guys are the people I couldn't imagine my life without, we haven't been friends super long but we've definitely had some good times the short time we've been friends. You are the ones who I could call at 2:00 a.m. if something was wrong but y'all are also the ones that I can celebrate with when good grades come or good news come. When I have decisions to make whether it be what coffee to order or what kind of fish I want to get or whatever it may be you guys are there to help me with those decisions.

Even though I fight with you guys about what's best all the time I know I should listen to y'all because in some cases you guys really do know best and are helping me out. You guys are the ones I can tell my crazy dreams and life goals to and you won't make fun of me no matter how ridiculous it might be. But you will push me higher and higher and believe in me even when I don't and I'm grateful for that. And theres nothing like jamming out to disney or Les Mis when we know we should be studying. I also wouldn't trade our car jam sessions and late nights talk for the world. And when I get moody or sassy you guys know whether to threaten me with sassy juice or just to leave me alone and let me lay on the floor. I am certain whether you live upstairs or across the world, you'd drop everything and be there if I needed you.

You guys are also are going to be honest whether I want you to be or not, whether it be about that guy I like I shouldn't or when I need to get my life together or if I'm just being plain dumb. You guys are the ones who would tickle me until I pee everywhere or make me laugh until I cry and I know no matter how much I need y'all, y'all need me too. So, a huge thanks to you guys for being my people. I love you guys so much!

You guys are my people, and you always will be my people.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
