Happy Birthday Letter For My Best Friends
Maddie Murcko

This week marks the birthdays of two of my best friends, and how else can I thank them for being my friend than by writing a sappy letter?

Dear Audrey and Sarah,

Happy Birthday! OK, yes, it's a little early but just accept my love, won't you? We've already been in this together for so long, so what's a few more decades together? All jokes aside, happy birthday to the most important people in my life. Every minute I spend with you is always filled with laughter, tears, and blankets. Whether we're on my couch in the living room, driving in someone's car, or in the Taco Bell parking lot, I love every moment with you.

My parents continuously say that I look the most comfortable, the most peaceful, and the happiest when I'm with you. It says something when an outsider can see that.

You are the few humans who Diego will accept. You are the few people Zoey gets excited to see. The two most important animals in my life adore you. And being empathetic people, you know how much that means to me.

There is never judgement. Not once in the years that I have known both of you have I ever felt judgement for my actions, my thoughts, my decisions, or my jokes. You have accepted me fully, and I am so thankful for that.

You make me feel loved. You make me feel beautiful. You make me feel funny. You make me feel confident.

You encourage me no matter what. Whether it is a new show ripping my brain apart, a new direction with my majors, a puppy I saw today, boys, etc., you both help me through it. When there was a death in our lives, we reassured the love between us. When Zoey was having health problems, you comforted me that everything would be OK. When we discuss our futures -- whether it's Audrey becoming a big time actress, Sarah becoming an influencer, and me still working my life out -- we reassure one another that we will always be there for each other. As silly as it may sound, I truly believe that we'll be together for the rest of our lives, and that is so exciting.

I've heard somewhere that if a friendship lasts longer than seven years, then it will last a lifetime. I don't need to wait any more years to already know that our friendship will last a lifetime.

You are the people I can call when I need to vent. You are the people I can trust with my insecurities, and my dreams. You are the people I can ask anything, and know you won't judge me for asking. You are the people I can be honest with, and know that I will receive honest answers. You are the people who I could spend days with, and we will always be laughing. You are my people, and I am so thankful for that.

I hope people in these world have a friendship like ours, because everyone deserves to feel happy when they are around their best friends. The love that I have for you both is unreal, but the love I feel from you both is something I could never describe.

Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for being my ally. Thank you for being my future. Thank you for everything. Here's to decades of adventures.

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!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
