Dear Ex-Best friend,

I know you have not heard from me in awhile, and I am sorry about that; life can get in the way sometimes. But not a day goes by where I do not think about you and all of the times we used to have together. We went from pulling all-nighters, watching our favorite movies and eating ice cream, and dancing to our favorite band in our PJ's to just two people who follow one another on social media.

I just want you to know, you were the first person I ever shared secrets with. The first person who ever did my makeup, helped me pick out outfits, made me try new foods, even try out new things in general that I was not interested in doing at all. You were like a sister to me. No one could ever take back the laughs that we shared or the tears that we shed over the dumb boys who we realize now weren't worth it.

Even though we do not talk anymore, I do know what is going on in your life more than you may think. I am proud of you for getting into the college that you have always dreamed of going to and for finally finding a guy who is putting a smile on your face. It is nice to see that you are growing up and doing what you always dreamed of doing.

As for me, I am living day-by-day doing what I always thought was unthinkable. I have also finished my first year of college and am still with that boy that you were not so sure about. He is my best friend, and I cannot imagine accomplishing what I have without him. I know back in the day you were concerned, and I thank you for that, but I want you to know he makes me happier than anyone ever has. My family asks about you all of the time, and all I can say is that you seem like you are doing well (even though I personally do not know).

Always know that even though we are not BFF's anymore or talk on a daily basis, I am always here for you. Your number will forever be in my phone since you are forever in my heart. Do not hesitate to call or text or even stop by my house if there is something you just have to get off of your chest. My heart is now fulfilled and my life must go on, and even though you are no longer in it, I will never forget the friendship that we once shared.

Best Regards,

Your ex-best friend

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.
