3 months ago, you took me back.

You believed in us even after I left,

We loved without a care in the world.


3 years ago, I first saw you.

In your dark green shirt, crooked glasses, and curls,

Little did I know you’d become my world.


3 weeks ago, I still loved you.

I still believed that you would come back too,

Losing you took over my whole world.


Maybe time outplayed me,

Maybe it was all a test.

Maybe I’m crazy,

Or maybe we were the best.


You destroyed me:

Knocked me to the ground

And on my knees, I literally begged.


It is said:

Time heals all wounds

and I didn’t believe it

…but now I can see it


3 days ago, I missed you.

I thought back to that last time I kissed you,

how you said we’d still be friends.


You lied.


Today I see it all.

I was the one that saved me that fall…


There’s beauty in this life

And so much to learn.

For you, my heart no longer yearns.


I won’t apologize,

I won’t cry,

because it’s a good thing we said goodbye…

It was a blessing in disguise.


So, while you’re laying there

with her by your side,

I will be holding my head up with pride

going somewhere with my life.


For you I cried,

I tried

I died


Yet in the death of my old self,

A new one has come


I am stronger without you

I am happier without you

I am more confident too…

I know that always intimidated you


I am brand new

So, this is my final goodbye to you.

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.
