Thank you for always being there.

Why Best Friends Are Important
Sophie Sajdak

Everyone has that one friend they can tell anything and everything to. They know all the dirt about us, but still loves who we are as a person.

1. They Know Too Much

My best friend knows way too much about me to ever allow us to not be friends. There are lots of secrets that only those best friends know and lots of crazy memories. Only my best friend could bring up something from the past that will have me laughing for days. Basically, my best friend has more than enough dirt to blackmail me.

2. Friends For Over 12 Years

So much time has passed, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else beside me throughout all of the experiences. There’s a saying that if you’re friends for over seven years, then you’re going to be best friends for life. Even being 63 miles away at different colleges, she never fails to still be there for me when I need it the most.

3. The Only Person I Trust

There is no one else that I would confide in other than my best friend. They know more about me than anyone else on this planet and I’m okay with that. They always have your best interest in mind. They care about you and only want what is best, even if they get mad that you’re texting that one boy who doesn’t deserve you again. No matter how many times they yell at you, they just want you to be happy and they continually tell you over and over again.

4. Knows Me Better Than I Know Myself

Whether it’s little motivation texts when you need them the most or even little inside jokes, they’re always there at the right time. Even driving in the car and they play the song that you wanted to hear, but just couldn’t think of the title. Or shopping at TJ-Maxx and they find a super cute top that they know you will love. They can always tell when you’re in a bad mood before you even talk to them

5. My Person

Who else would take their time to drive around eating cheap breadsticks while listening to break up songs from the early 2000s with you? Who else would have 4 am phone calls because you can’t stand being alone for much longer. And it always seems that the two of you are always going through the exact same things at the exact time; always floating in the same boat!

Through it all, you both continue to support each other, and that’s true friendship. So thank you to my best friend for everything you 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.
