To my one and only Floofy,

A year and a half ago, when we had our first real conversation at three in the morning, I thought you wouldn’t care to talk to me again. You didn’t. You texted me again five hours later.

A year and a few months ago when you first told me how you wanted for us to get closer, I thought that you would regret this decision later and tell me you changed your mind. You didn’t. We kept being great friends.

Almost a year ago when I finally decided that I was ready for us, I thought that you would hate me. But again, you didn’t.

For the past year, you surprised me many times and the largest surprise of all is that they were all good ones. I can’t count all of the times that you have comforted and forgiven me.

When I explained my whole background and my family and how everything is just so complicated and difficult, I broke down and cried. I remember feeling that it was all my fault and I just dragged you into my mess. But you kept repeating “It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault”.

When I brought up my depression and my mood swings, I thought you would think that I was making up excuses. I was nervous about how you would react but you said “I know how it feels so don’t worry about it”.

I hate being corny but there is so much that you have done for me. I know you wouldn’t think that you said or did much but it was much more than I had ever expected. Your patience and understanding blows my mind to this day. When I think of all of the tears from last year, I also think of your kindness.

It’s only been one year but it feels so much more has happened than possible within that time span. Thank you for making that time so much more meaningful and happy.

Happy one year.

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.
