How Much Do My Friends Mean To Me?
Amy Breitbach

It has only been about a month and a week since I was at school with all of my friends. Put that into perspective; just a little over one month. I've done all of the math and have calculated that I have put OVER 1000 MILES on my car just by traveling all over the great state of Illinois to see all of my friends in the course of that month.

My car can hold about 20 gallons in its tank and can get about 32 miles per gallon. So it can travel about 650 miles on a full tank. Today, the average gas price in the state of Illinois is about $2.325 per gallon and so in order to fill my tank it costs about $46.50. Multiply that 46.50 by 2 and you end up with $93. What I'm trying to get at here is that so far the total expenses to see my friends as much as I have costs nearly $100. And, quite frankly, I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THEM THAT MUCH!

Typically, I feel like any normal person would just say screw it and wait until the school year to see their friends again. Lol not me. And to be totally honest, every penny has been worth it because the time I have spent with my friends this summer was time well spent and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. So to my friends, if you guys are reading this, I love you all and you each owe me about $25.

My friends mean the world to me, am I crazy..?

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.
