For My Best Friend

Because I miss you like hell, my dear.

This is for you, Dill. Because I miss you and you're not here. Because even if we're far far far apart, you're still here with me.

You brought me in with open arms. I'll never forget when you talked about my moving in as if it were a given, not a huge decision Kat had to make. It made me feel like I had a place to call home, and people that would want me to live there. That meant more than you'll ever know.

We bonded slowly, but strongly. It started with our mutual detestation for certain people and led to our mutual love for all things Harry Potter, cheese and music that makes us get the feels we hate getting.

You went from my roommate's girlfriend to my friend. We would sit there together and do homework in between classes. You understood the beauty of being alone... together. That's right. I just brought Fall Out Boy into this. It's real now. You had bees and I had ballet and we were both tired all the time.

Then we found out we have like everything in common. Equestrian? Yep. Poetry? You bet. Converse? Always. Even the stuff we don't like to talk about we share. But for real, who can put on shoes standing up. That's just a bunch of malarkey, McMurray. See what I did there? I know you're rolling your eyes right now.

You grew from my friend to my confidant to my best friend. A title neither of us take lightly by any means. From John Mulaney to what I will refer to as March Madness to ice cream at Ziggy's wondering why those two girls were staring at us. They were just jealous of us.

Now we share everything. You're the first person I call in crisis and the first person I think of when someone talks about their best friend. You convince me to step outside my comfort zone, and you always support me. I know you'll hate me because this will give you the feels but I feel it too so don't worry. You're never alone. You're the Sirius to my James, mischievous and adventurous with an incredibly kind heart... and a pony tail.

I miss you and your pony tail. I miss when we always had lunch together and Crows Nest on the weekends. I miss having Brooklyn accents that are too on point. It's scary how good we are at that. I miss you being down for anything and always being there. We became best friends because suddenly we were just there, in each other's lives. In retrospect, it could've turned out very bad if we weren't both so awesome. But thank God we're as cool as Poison Ivy and Harley. I love ya' Dill, and I can't wait to be your official roommate and best friend next quarter.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
