She May Have Gotten The Boy, But I Got The Man
Heidi Mae Brown

Honestly, I got the man, she's got the boy.

I got the man first, I got the man who wants to commit. Thank you for leading him my way even though I had him first in my childhood. Thank you for pushing him more toward me.

I got the man. You got the boy.

You got to experience the boy side of him, I'm now getting the experience you wish you could have, so thank you.

Thank you for not ruining it for me. Thank you for letting me have him now.

You have the past, I have your future. I choose him for my future.

You got the class ring. I got the diamond.

I got the man, you got the boy.

You got the first kiss. I'll get the last.

I won't take it for granted like you have.

Did you get mad when he chose me, did you fight about it?

Did you let him go when he chose me?

Did you let go of the past so I could have his future?

Thank you for letting go.

Thank you for letting me have him for the future stake.

Thank you for letting me hold his hand when things got rough.

Thank you for letting me have his heart when his past fucked up with him.

Thank you for getting him so I could have his heart and be apart of his future.

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.
