When Friends Grow Apart

Dear Old Friend,

I thought about you today. Wondered how you were doing. I almost went to your house but decided that I shouldn't since it's been a few years since we've talked--let alone seen each other. I figured you were too busy with your family celebrating your brother's graduation. How is he doing? Still the football star? He's probably going off to some amazing college to play. He was always so talented at the game. Anyway, I'm doing well. I actually went back to school. I know I said a billion times that I didn't want to, but I have a dream and a purpose that I could only fulfill by getting a degree.

I was thinking about some of the old times we had together. You know, like when we would hang out in your room at your parents' house and watch movies and listen to music. I remember when you would do my makeup and hair before church on Thursday nights. I even remember that time you had a Superbowl Party at your house. It was nice to be among fellow Broncos fans.

I really don't understand why we stopped talking. It seemed like things were going well for us. We didn't fight that much. I thought we had a good friendship going on for us. I told you my story; you told me yours... then all of a sudden, you unfriended me on Facebook and just stopped texting me.

I'd really like to know why, but I'm too afraid to ask you, worried that the reason is as simple as we were in different places, or maybe I'm scared that there really is a big reason why and you just don't want to tell me.

I hope you're doing well and just wanted to say I miss you and maybe someday we will see each other again.

Yours Truly,
An Old 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.
