Dear Best Friend,

I am so sorry that I left you. I am so sorry that I chose a college that is not an easy day trip to visit. I am so sorry that I am not able to see you or talk to you every single day like we used to. I am so sorry that we can’t have spontaneous trips to get coffee, Panera, Taco Bell, or to the movies. I am so sorry that I am not home anymore, and we can’t just stop by at each other’s houses late at night anymore just to say “hi” or to spend the night when we need a break from our families.

Even though we are far apart now, I want you to know how grateful I am to have met you. I am so thankful you walked into my life, became my best friend, and have stuck by my side through everything. Thank you for loving me, for who I am.

I miss you more than words can describe. I miss staying up all night talking, going to 10pm showings of kid’s movies, and seeing your gorgeous face every day at school. I am so happy, though, that despite me being so far away from you, we can still call each other crying when something goes wrong, and we can facetime each other to tell the other great news that we couldn’t wait to share.

You mean the world to me. I honestly don’t think that I could survive on this earth if I hadn’t met you. We have our differences sometimes, but we rarely ever argue and I am forever grateful that for once in my life, I have someone that is so easy to get along with, it feels like you are another version of me.

I thank you again, for just being there when I need you, listening to me when I have to get something off my chest, hugging me when I cry, taking care of me when I am sick, and just simply existing in my life, making it 2 million times better.

I love you.

xoxo,

Your 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.
