An Open Letter to the Friends Who Picked Me Up

Thank you for wiping my tears away

An Open Letter to the Friends Who Picked Me Up
Alyssia Vieyra

It was you..Those nights when I kept staring at my phone, waiting for a text from the one person who stole my heart but didn't care for it. Or when I would be crying my eyes out, hidden under my covers wanting to disappear from the world. It was you who was always there to lift my head up and tell me that everything was going to be okay. It's like you knew me better than I knew my own self. You were the mirror I looked into and found the truths about myself. You were the one who gave me the harsh truths in the gentlest of ways.

Over and over you would watch me make the same mistakes, and still you never left my side. Every single time, you would have to shake me while screaming at me my worth. It's like you had to walk around with a stash of tissues and your hand ready to slap me back into reality when needed. Sometimes I even saw you wipe a tear drop from your own cheek from feeling my pain. Those are the times that I will never forget; We couldn't be any closer then in that moment.

You are the only person who I get in a fight with and it can't ever last longer then fifteen minutes. My heart just can't hold in hate for you longer then that. I mean who else am I going to have crazy dance parties or rap battles with in the car. Or take midnight trips to buy out all of McDonald's cookies and point out every plane we see flying above us because of an insider we have with each other. You are my soulmate of a friend that can never be replaced.

You have been there when I was at my highest moment in life and the lowest. The only thing that changed was how tight you hugged me because with each time they got tighter and tighter. You hold a place in my heart because of how special our friendship is to me. Every moment spent together helped mold me into the person I am, even in our most craziest of times.

Saying thank you is not enough for all you have done for me. You are more than a friend to me, you are now who I consider family. You are my soul sister, my double mint twin, the peanut butter to my jelly, the Robin to my Batman, and the Ying to my Yang. You know how all of those quirky sayings go, well you are all of those in one. I can't think of anybody else who could make my heartbreaks bearable and my single lady phase the most enjoyable ever.

So this one is for you best friend. Cheers to many more years of unforgettable memories.

xoxo

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.
