An Open Letter To The Girl After Me

Dear you,

I want to start off by saying that I hope the best for both of you and that life treats you well.

He's already giving you everything that I could of asked for, so I hope you appreciate it to the full extent. I hope you treasure every hand-hold, every forehead kiss, all the late night talks, and all the other little things that make you fall for him. I hope you love his family. They're "in-law" goals! They are everything to him, especially his mom and his littlest brother, so be good to them. I hope you adore the way he watches football games and take every picture he'll stand for with him in his uniform. I hope he doesn't lie to you, like he did to me. I hope you help him believe in love again, like I tried so hard to do. I hope he trust you with all the secrets about his life before you. I hope you're his best friend. Because all these things that I wish I could experience now, that I wish I could do again, make me miss him so dearly. He was more than just a boyfriend, or not boyfriend depending on whatever he's let you believe, he was my best friend. We stood beside each other through some of the most difficult times. I love him and I always will have a soft spot for him.

But... I want you to understand that he is a different person now. He is who he is, for you. So if you catch me staring, I'm just remembering who he used to be. I don't want him back. Let me say it agiain, "I DO NOT WANT HIM BACK." I'm sorry if I make it seem like I do, but if you had been told everything that I was told and then it all came crashing down, you would be about where I am. I want him to be happy, so if that means you, well who am I to tell him no?

These are my final words to you. Let me live my life, as I have let you live yours.

Best wishes,

The one before 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.
